10 Sponge Squash Seeds

Luffa, also known as plant sponge or loofah, is a fascinating plant with multiple uses. Find out everything you need to know about this versatile plant:

Description :

• The Luffa is a plant which offers both edible fruits when young and a natural sponge once it reaches maturity. The green, elongated fruits can be eaten in their early stages of growth, while their fibers later transform into sponges used for body and household cleaning.
• This plant requires plenty of sun, heat and humidity to thrive. Rich, sandy soil is ideal for its growth. It can climb a trellis or crawl on the ground, although trellis cultivation is often preferable to allow the fruits to develop unhindered.
• Sponge harvesting is usually done when the fruit skin begins to turn brown or crack, usually around October. All you have to do is tear the skin to release the sponge and extract the seeds. For use as a sponge, whole fruits are soaked in water, peeled and cleaned of their seeds.

Uses:

• The resulting vegetable sponge is ideal for exfoliating the skin when lightly moistened and rubbed with soap. It can also be used with baking soda, white vinegar or black soap to clean dishes, scaled taps and even cars, without risk of scratches.
• After use, it is recommended to rinse the sponge well and let it dry.
