GREENSEA Bottle Gourd, Lauki, Calabash Seed  (38 per packet)

The bottle gourd, also known as lagenaria siceraria or calabash, is a vine-producing plant in the Cucurbitaceae family. It is native to tropical Africa and Asia but has been cultivated worldwide for centuries. The fruit of the bottle gourd is large, elongated, and often shaped like a bottle, hence its name. The flesh of the bottle gourd is white, spongy, and mild-flavored. It is often used in curries, soups, and stews. In some cultures, the gourd's hard shell is used to create containers, musical instruments, and decorative objects. Bottle gourds are a nutritious vegetable, rich in vitamins A and C, as well as potassium and fiber. They are also a good source of antioxidants.
