Magenta leaf, also known as 'la cam' in Vietnamese, is used as a natural food coloring.
Simmering leaves in water produces purple color, and the liquid can be concentrated.
Traditionally used in sticky-rice dishes, it has no flavor, it could be used in many ways.
Likes growing in full - part shade, moist soil, in the ground or pots, protect from frost.
