Gourd luffa sponge, loofah also vegetal sponge or Luffa cylindrica is a climbing plant of the cucurbitaceae family.
Flowering is yellow in summer.
It produces fruits that can be edible young and are cucumber-shaped, much like horned melon.
Fruits once seeded have the peculiarity of producing plant sponges.
Loofah seeds are black, elongated and flat, they resemble those of the orchid tree or snake gourd.

There are two modes of use, either gastronomic or useful:
In Reunion there are many recipes, the young fruits of loofah can be eaten in saute with chicken or shrimp or stew.
If fruit becomes too mature, its pulp will be fibrous and inedible in this case, it will serve as a vegetal sponge.

To make a vegetable sponge from Luffa, you will have to do this:
As soon as the fruit of loofah begins to mature, cut the end and empty all seeds and flesh.

Shelf life of a vegetable sponge is 2 to 3 years with daily use.
