How Luffa Sponges Are Made - Навчання та стиль
damn nature give us everything even dishwashing sponge
Thats called God :)
THANK YOU NATURE
calm brandon, you need luffa sponges.
They gave us chocolate
@@Skippingleaf wow... that went left.
So you're telling me there's a biodegradable option for plastic sponges n stuff... Amazing.
Keep the corporate junkies off these people
You can cook and eat that too while it's still young
@@slayergamer1381 eat my dish sponge after a whopping pile of dishes... well seasoned, i guess
@@gutwounds it's actually true. You can eat it when it's tender and before it turns to a sponge. It's actually tasty.
I know how amazing is that.. And they last 10 times longer than those plastic garbage things.. The plastic ones will sit in a landfill over 10,000 years. These are nature's fiber that will just disintegrate into the ground. Yet, most people just won't buy them which is crazy they lost a thousand times longer. I didn't even know you could use these for doing your dishes.
@@CarrieAnn77 I'm gonna make it my mission to find where to buy them locally
this is pretty common in Asian countries I suppose. You eat it, and when you miss to eat it at right time (as it grows too many fruits), you let it dry off to become loofa. I remember one season we had around 8-10 loofas lying around. Thats why for people from other parts of world it appears rather too exotic. It grows almost in every backyard or garden land space in semi-urban and villages in eastern half of India. Definitely better than the high priced nylon mess.
Ikr. I use it everyday and i don't have to buy it since we get it from our garden in village
Lol yes its so common in northeast india
It's so eco friendly too, i never knew we could grow these in India
@@jooniesbonsai4064 konsi jagah rhte ho india mei..ye tori hai ..aur jab sukh jati hai loofah bn jata hai😂
@@jooniesbonsai4064 ye to india mei har jagah hoti hai...pehle k log isi se bartan dhote the..,nahate the..
We had been using these since age immemorial, (atleast in India) i remember my grandmother making these loofas for us when the sponge gourds ripened.....and when they are young and tender, used as vegetable in different recipes. They are indeed very useful and nature has provided us with such lovely things.
한국에서도 마찬가지.
Me looking at my backyard
"I never knew i was so rich"
Same!
69 yeee
@Timothy Gagliano ya
@Timothy Gagliano I live in a colder place so I’ve never seen a cactus in the wild, only in a few plant vases.
@Timothy Gagliano yup lol I just had it idk why lol
I can't believe I was today years old when I found out real luffas are a plant, and not a weird synthetic mesh hanging from a walmart aisle shelf.
Yep😁😁
there is actually synthetic one so you are not completely wrong
Lol
I thought they were a sea sponge or something.....boy do I have news for my mom
same
This were the only sponges we used in my house growing up and I still used them! Actually my grandma planted some in our backyard and we got so many that we had to give them to the rest of the family or neighbors lol crazy how there's pol who doesn't know about this
We are also used this from our child wood. My great grandma was planted luffa as vegetables, when it ripened we used it for bathing , dishwashing, and so many cleaning purposes. Once planted it will remain there for years,If one of its seed remain in the garden.
In Third world countries, we use this rather than synthetic ones💕it literally grows on your backyard, your mini garden, the sidewalks, your neighbourhood’s window garden, you see this everywhere naturally.
Very true.
Its also the same in India. They don't need any care at all to grow
So true, im from Trinidad and it's common here, but we call it" taw shaw"
It is a weed
Very true we used it alot in the Caribbean 🌻
Literally almost half of the country: Oh yea, we just have these growing all over the place
The US: YOU WHAT?!?
Ikr?;yet the story makes it seem like the greatest human discovery has been made😹
bruh my mom grew these and used them for sponges and i just thought it was a wierd thing that she did
brazilian here, my grandpa had a little farm filled with these 😂
@@thefroggy5240 these are edible before the fibers start to harden. We put them in soups in the Philippines
...you know the US is a country, right?
Me: *Attempting to sleep*
Brain at 1 am:Loofas
Me: Brain No.
Brain: BRAIN YES
XxEggø_SunxX XD 😂👌 why did I laugh at this!!! 😂👌
Me at 12:09am
Xd
You and me both 😂😅
Has dream of eating it
In India, especially in Bihar we call it "nenuaa". It is a sweet pulpy vegetable, it is edible in its early stage, but when it grows big and get dried under the sun it is used is bathing sponge.
Yeah . I know right .
Also odishaa
I would love to get my hands on these as I am from mumbai
In Bengal we call it dhudul......and as vegetable we cook it up with daal.....it's tasty and nutritious......
In Punjab and Haryana, we call it Touri ..it's in the same family of Ghiya
when he cut open the dried luffa at 0:28 , one got 3 seed holes and the other one got 4 holes.. AMAZING
with 3 seed holes is female and with four seeds is male. it's also used to find out male capsicum and female capsicum
Latinos: We have been using those plants for centuries.
Asians: Hold my beer.
*sake, plum wine, soju, rice wine, lemongrass wine, etc although beer works too
Caucasians: Hey guys look what we found
“Centuries late to the party”
Caucasians use sea sponge for their sponge. Hence the name is sponge in English. Or maybe the opposite? They discover sponge first and then call that creature as sea sponge? Idk..
And because they use sea sponge, the sponge population decrease greatly in the past. Maybe in the Renaissance era. That's why they searching sponge alternatives and now today we have synthetic sponge. Made from plastic. So sad...
Hope people go back using either sea sponge or this sponge plant.
Now people have technology n knowledge to make a farm in almost every environmental condition.
No more synthetic sponge!
(btw, my sponge is cellulose sponge. It's from wood cellulose. Biodegradable)
@@DBT1007 know how toxic some sea sponges are and how stupid ppl can be, i bet is safer to stick with the earth ones
The plant is native to asia, so I guess asian people used them way before
In Chinese we call it 絲瓜. The literal translation is "silky melon" because the texture is really soft when steamed. There is a slight sweet taste to it. We harvest it when it is young, before the Luffa part develops. In fact, once the Luffa is there, it's no longer edible, because it becomes too fibrous.
That's interesting 😀
I loved when my grandma making their own back in China. She always make more for all her children’s family
My grandma grows them to make both food and sponge lmao
where I used to live we always used them just as sponges! we had no idea one can cook them !
老丝瓜，我也不知妈妈去哪买的，她就是喜欢这种旧传统，说这种洗的干净。老美也会用，我去一家德州南方餐厅看到他们居然有洗衣板放在餐厅，看来全世界有共同点。
So cool! Absolutely in love with how they saw this weird unknown thing, did their research, and made it into something big for them❤
I had used this sponge when I was very young. My father made these songes for the family. This video has refreshed my memory and I would arrange such sponges again. Love❤️ from India
In latín america is used to wash and scrub our body... but now i will wash my dishes with it too.. thanks for your information...

Young luffas are actually delicious when cooked. In the Philippines, it's stir fried with a lot of shrimps. ☺️
you can add it in soups too. sinabawang gulay or saute it with sardines.

Thank you for sharing. I was gifted some seeds last fall and i am going to plant some along my garden fence. I have used luffa for years but this will be my first for growing.
This tree was in our garden when I was a kid ...It tastes bitter ..😁😁 Love to see the marketing of this organic luffa ..

Stir fried it with eggs!
@@paris2993 yes , we eat as vegetable.
Ya ya, but I dont like the taste of it tbh
Mena my fav dish!
I grow them at my homestead. I harvest around 100-150 a year and when I make homemade soap, I put half a loofa into the soap before it hardens and make soap bars and scrubbers for everything you use soap for. I even make a mint charcoal scrubber for the face. I love loofas

I support this. everybody needs to take a bath or shower. this is useful and will never go out. organic and healthy is in right now and luffa sponges are as organic and healthy as it gets.
Ana Carolina “organic and healthy is in right now”
That’s the problem.
Ana Carolina My penis is in a blender right now, why isn’t everyone else’s
I mean, the sponges are natural, but they aren't necessarily _healthy_ unless you're eating them... but I get your point.
Also they are supposed to be pronounced loofah not luffa
@Macaroni Butt the sponges was called loofah yes but the plant, specifically the gourd, is called the luffa squash.
I did not know Luffa came from a plant and not the sea, until a few months ago. I bought seeds and hope to plant them this year.
You can pick the fruit when it's still young and cook it. In my place, it is common to make soup from this kind of fruit. You can also stir fry it. Just make sure the fruit is young enough or it may be too tough to chew!

Young luffa is very delicious made soup or sauteed. It is soft and slightly sweet.

This meme is kinda overused.
I love Luffa use every bath, your skin make softer, white skin,and fine lines.
I like being Black. Guess I'll pass.
I have one. And i wash it with laundry and it never loses its shape or anything. Its my favorite body washer. Amd it exfoliates and i am hooked!!
Im Brazilian and my mum love to have these around the bathroom she has a lot of them with nice soap that goes with it we never use nylon sponges only luffa and its dead cheap and more durable than nylon and we use it because its biodegradable...

We had these plants and it was highly used in households everywhere in the Caribbean 🌻
Had some in my backyard, but all of a sudden Di Merica finally a catch up. We always thinking we are behind the times, story come to bum. 😅
Grew up using these for absolutely free of any cost. They were soft and scratchy veeeery soothing.
In Nepal We grow them in our Farm😂
I didn't know it's called luffa sponges.
We also cook them for food when they aren't too old.
You eat loofah sponges?
What do they taste like?
@@hillre14 we eat the gourd when young. We make curry out of them. If we want to make a bath sponge out of that we just leave it in the plant to mature

Here in japan,elementary schools, grows plants depending on your grade level for (1st grade 🍅 2nd 🌷 3rd 🥔 4th cucumber 🥒 etc... ) for me when I was in 5th grade we grew that plant 🌱 and peeled the skin, then the teachers cut it so students can bring them back home. I miss Japanese elementary school 🏫
In my kindergarten school,we play and learn nothing but we do learn that snack is bad and you should never eat it
@@Funkoh ikr
@@*Drifty * I don't understand why Americans think someones lucky for living in Japan until they move there and realize that they had maybe around 12 hours of sleep for the whole week and would be shamed by your superiors if you tried to take a day off. The grass is always greener on the other side.
In grade 3 in Canada we also grew potatoes, but not the rest of it. I would have missed Japan Elementary school too if I had gone through it,
Elementary school in Japan looked so cool , I'm sad I never get to go ...
In Brazil I prefer this than syntethic sponges to take a bath 'cause it have a good touch on the skin.
Elas tbm tiram a sujeira mais facil
This is found in almost every household in Nepal.. all you have to do is just dry the gourd and it's ready.. we use it as a body scrubber while taking shower...
Can you eat it
ComfySunday Well it’s a sponge..
Only if you chase it with dish soap
in the state where it is still unripe or green, yes. it can be used for sauteed vegetable dishes.
ComfySunday no lol
Patricia Sevilla you’re right my curios ass opened one before it was dry and it looked like a type of squash or something
I grew up using the sponges we used to have plants in our back yard in Mexico
Jose Ochoa that is soo cool
YESSS!!!!
I did too!
Same
Yes nosotro tambien teniamos una guia (planta que se enrreda )
WOW, THANKS FOR SHARING!!!
I have also made lots of sponges. a vegetable is sown in my village, out of that this sponge comes out.
i'm very happy to see them doing this too....
Where i live this plant grows in every household's kitchen garden. We eat it as veggies while they are young.
That sounds kinda nasty
@@user-iu2zo7hu7f it's basically a cucumber
@@user-iu2zo7hu7f This vegetable belongs to the "gourd" family. Ridge gourd, bitter gourd are some of the other kinds. when they are very tender, just the size of a small cucumber, they make good edible veggies and when they grow just a bit more, the pulp gets a bit fibrous and is excellent to clean your gut. in Indian villages where they grow this as a vegetable, sometimes they deliberately cook a few slightly fibrous ones to get rid of constipation. its only when you let it grow over a foot, its not edible anymore and farmers let it dry on the plant for loofahs.
Yeah bro, same here in the caribbean
Same here
FINE ILL WATCH IT UA-cam UGHH
I can feel you bro
Fuentes I swear bro
Ikr 🤦🏽♂️
And thus, here I am
you see those three tiny little dots next to the video?
click it and click "Not Interested"
Now you dont need to tell everyone about the fact you watched the video.
Growing up in a Mexican household I saw these all my life and I didn’t really know why they were used as sponges but I am obsessed with the smell of them .
Abundantly grown in Darjeeling.Tender one we use as vegetable nd mature dried one use as sponge scrubbers.Very healthy organic plants.
those sponge are biodegradable until they put plastic wrapping over it...
Not thinking they need to be wrapped in plastic, but they probably feel covering it keeps out bugs. No one will want to buy it with bugs crawling thru it.
Reesey Me depends on the brand. Been buying mine without any plastic packaging.
A lot of sponge, soap sellers etc use a biodegradable plastic that is a shrink wrap.
Who cares. Would you rather have a plastic sponge or a luffa?
@JayLeeBeanz depends how much you use it, but I can imagine that a whole sponge lasts around a year.
In México it name are “estropajos” and are used for centuries here and Latinoamérica.
Americans discover estropajos.

This is the ecologic sponge Asians used to have while washing our dishes. Pretty nostalgic for me.

when its young and fresh, it's a very tasty dish, usually cook with shellfishes, like little neck clams. we have them since forever and I can think of at least 10 ways to cook them right now. When they grew pass certain stage, they become too hard to eat, we will use them the same way, mostly to wash dishes. lol
Oh cool! What recipes do you recommend?
Word ma man! We eat it too out here in the northern Eastern parts of India!
@@ccmmacaroon2696 you can pretty much cook it in anything!
I would recommend using the soft unriped ones in curry! Like cut it in small slices and cook it together with curry! You will be amazed! We even boil it in broths! Pretty much use it how you cook you regular green veggies!
How would you describe the taste?
@@ccmmacaroon2696 scrape the skin before you cut it and cook it. If if is starting to get the fibers in the flesh it won't be as good. It will look kind of like a skinny green zucchini.
These things are a million time better than synthetic sponges, showers will never be the same.
@Ver Nimpson I prefer scrubbing steel wool on my genitals.
@@Igrouve idk sandpaper has a a nice feeling too
And I dont know we can talk about how good it feels to rub something on our genital so openly these days. So amazing.
@Ver Nimpson ... you share it with your family?
@Ver Nimpson you can do that in any country...
