ALL ABOUT LUFFA GOURDS

Luffa Gourd (Luffa aegyptiaca) seeds produce versatile fruits that transform into natural sponges when mature. Young gourds, harvested early, are edible with a mild, zucchini-like flavor, perfect for stir-fries or soups. When left to dry, the fibrous interior becomes an eco-friendly, biodegradable sponge ideal for bathing, dishwashing, or household cleaning. Native to tropical Asia, these gourds have been used for centuries in both culinary and practical applications. Each packet contains non-GMO, heirloom seeds for a sustainable addition to your garden.
