How We Use Luffa Sponges!

[Deusvult]

As an Indian I can attest this is a good scrubber. Really mild on the skin. You can usually get this in Ayurvedic stores.

I had NO idea Luffa came from vine plants and weren't actual sponges

I’m a marine biology grad student & I just found out that loofahs aren’t actually sponges. My life is a lie

I'm convinced that all these diy, survival videos, camping videos constantly poping up on my feed are prepping us for the apocalypse.

So that's why nature is so clean they literally just grow their own cleaning supply.

I am from the north-eastern part of India, and this loofah is very common in our region. The green ones are used as a vegetable, and the sun-dried ones are used as loofah.

This thing is quite common in Asian countries. We all used it as how you shown in the video but when the melon is still young, you can harvest it, stir fry it with butter, salt, pepper, garlic, ginger and a little optional chilli. Enjoy.

In Asia, we eat the young fruit... it's a vegetable & taste very good in clear soup

I love these things. Dated a Chinese girl and I would always wash the dishes when I ate with her family. They had one of these and after my first time washing dishes with it, I fell in love. They're so much more effective than the sponges I grew up with, and it's fun watching them "melt" when they get wet, only hard back into their original shape while drying.

Scrub Daddy have clearly seen this because they’ve just come out with a coconut fibre version

In India we've been using this natural loofah since ages 😁

[michaelgrande]

That was interesting. If only I knew where to find these I’d try it out myself. Lol. Nice vid

There’s a few of those things in every house in Mexico, they’re great sponges for showering

I'm a Bengali Indian and my mom makes me use it everyday . It's called Dhundhul. We don't have plastic loofah here . We gotta use this to clean our body. When this fruit is young, it's edible too . An all purpose veggie.

I totally remember my mom peeling my skin off with this bad can never forget those old days.😂

Any type of sponge will smell if you let it fester. Loofah sponges are still susceptible to smelling badly.

As a Brazilian, it's an very good alternative for sponge

[jazzyjess]

Love love LOVE this guy! Adorable and informative! Can’t WAIT to harvest my loofahs!!

[loucilletipayandelatorre]

Loofah is actually a vegetable. You can cook any dish with it when its young it’s delicious. It’s similar to zucchini. Also you can use it as a scrubber. It has a lot of uses actually. A life saver👍🏻

In India and East Asia the immature Loofah is also used as a vegetable! Before it develops all the fibers, it's edible and has a pretty tender texture. It's called Ridgegourd or Chinese Okra in English.
