Plant ID: climber, hemp-like leaves

Hi there folks,

I'm looking for a plant identification on a plant that supposedly is edible.
The leaves look like cannabis and it has a drop shape fruit that points upwards (2nd pic).
It's a very vigorous grower and has invasive properties, it seams from the aggressive growth it has shown on it's first season.


Your help is very much appreciated. Thank you (::: D)

What region are you in?

Is it a volunteer?

No, it is from seeds given to me. This plant grows in Sintra, Portugal. Meditarranean Climate. Warm and Dry Summers, wet humid winters. No frost.
I say it has invasive potential solely for its prolific growth and amount on fruits. It covered a small citrus and some well growing hardy kiwi.

alternate leaves, uneven leave lobes, just like cannabis. 3, 5, 7 or 9 lobes.
Flowers grow upwards one after another and fruit points upwards aswell.
The plant is all green but tends to become kinda yellowish when older.

Thank you ::

I'm not at all sure, but my guess would be some sort of hops.

Cheers,

Dave

To me, il looks like cyclanthera pedata.
If that's the case, you're in luck, as it's edible.

Thanks André Troylilas! It is that plant!
I'm very happy about this ::

Much Love and thanks a lot for you help!

You're welcome, I don't know much but am always happy to help.
As pfaf says:

Fruit. Young fruits are eaten raw or cooked and have a similar taste to cucumbers though they are not crisp. Older fruits are cooked, they can be stuffed in much the same way as marrows. The fruit is about 6 - 15cm long and 6cm wide. Leaves and tender young shoots - cooked and used as greens.
