Loofah


Beautiful isn't it? This is my first loofah plant. I got the seeds from a friend who ran an organic gardening training center. At first I thought it was the common ridge gourd we have here. Honestly, I thought I got wrong seeds, when it set fruit, I once doubt if it was edible at all like the common gourd, but to my surprise it's delicious!

This I believe is self-fertile too though it also has male blooms. And though I also helped with hand pollination, but I believe it is not required since in some occasion it set fruit with less help from me.














I simply stir-fried it with some garlic and onion and on top of it I put some sliced scramble eggs. It' very tender and yummy!
