Gourd Luffa Cylindrica Seeds

The quintessential bathroom sponge and scrubber! Just wait for fruit maturity, dry, cut the ends, shake the seeds out (and keep to plant out next season) and there you go – a natural sponge!

Hint: Lightly scar the seed with some sandpaper to help the germination process. Grow on a fence or trellis in full sun to let fruit hang.  In cool climates, remember to plant after risk of frost.

Health & Culinary Notes

  • A dual purpose vegetable, eat the young fruit like zucchini and use the young leaves and shoots for stir fries.
  • Let fruit mature, dry, then shake out the seeds for next year and presto – homemade Luffa! 
  • This amazing vegetable is known for it’s great source of vitamin A, B5 and K.
