@@danielfnvd3839 its not shit. It would be thoughtful especially for a person who likes to by products like a loofah. They would be getting them as a girf and they would be organic, plus mamy would charish the thought that the person had grown the plant themselves and not just bought something
Been growing luffa for several years and use the as they are. What I absolutely love is the fact they are natural, they last for a very long time and dont hold smells like all other sponges. An incredibly versatile plant.
@@c4tac133 We've got a few in the kitchen that are well over a year old and you'd never know it became they don't hold smells. Use em, rinse em. As far as maintenance goes just rinse them off, if they smell then they aren't getting rinsed.
@@rosameijering5161Yes! I've been using them for a couple of years for doing the dishes. They work great and don't grow bacteria in them as much as the plastic yellow or pink sponges. They also last quite some time and don't add to the plastic soup. You have to scrub a little harder for example when you have burnt pots but they work really well. Try them!
@@mousuminandi8204They have always been used in america as a natural body scrubber and sponges long before social media and the internet even existed. It's not something that Americans have just discovered like you imply with your comment. People show all kinds of things on social media, doesnt mean it's new to them.
@@AimenYousuf-yr2cnLoofahs/Luffas/loofas are made from the fruit of the vine-growing Luffa plant which is a part of the gourd family (Cucurbitaceae). This makes it a relative of cucumbers, squash, watermelons and pumpkins. The plant is also known as the Egyptian cucumber, sponge gourd, or in North America it's often called Chinese Okra. Once the Luffa fruit is fully ripened, you let it dry out and then you peel it. You're left with the fibrous interior which works perfectly as a natural sponge. It is cultivated and eaten as a vegetable but must be harvested at a young stage of development in order to be edible. The vegetable is popular to eat in China, India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Vietnam. When the fruit fully ripens, it becomes too fibrous for eating so at this stage is when it's used to make a natural sponge. In Paraguay, panels are made out of Luffa combined with other vegetable matter and recycled plastic. These can be used too create furniture and construct houses. In Japan, many people grow it outside building windows along with bitter melon as a natural sunscreen in summer. It's a very cool plant.

From Bangladesh. We also use it as a body cleanser. And when young it is eaten as a vegetable. It is a delicious vegetable. It is a shrimp fish when young. Or any fish cooked with it is very tasty. You can also try 😊
Quando verde pode ser feita cozida para comer. E quando seca usa como bucha de banho. Aqui no Brasil poucos sabem que é comestível e usa para o banho, lavar a louça. É muito bom ❤
Hlo, I am from India,and these called'' Ram Tori'' in our language.We make vegetable with roti and this is an important diet in Indian kitchens, As a child I didn't like much but my grandmother and mother made at least trice a week😂, Indian families grow these in their kitchen gardens . Over ripe Ram Tori is used as scrubbersvin India from ages ago😊,even use to clean utensils ❤
Actually, in Kolkata we buy it through some specific grocery store where they sell it, nowadays due to plastic replacing all natural or organic things it is hard to find one such Shop. In Maharashtra I think it will be available in stores where they sell brooms. Actually these are dry form of ripped sponge guard in India it is also called as Ghiya or Taroi
Is cutting and sewing them like this just to make them easier to use with bathing and cleaning things? Or is this just for a specific purpose? I've only ever used luffas in their solid round forms or as a slice. 💖
Шикарное растение! Каждую весну мама высаживает люфу, и я с нетерпением жду когда вырастут мочалочки! Покупными уже давно не пользуемся, только этими, натуральными. Отшелушивает кожу, +массаж, ощущение будто заново рождаешься после душа. ❤❤❤
It's my favourite vegetable, it tastes soo good. It's English name is bottlegourd in India it has different name in different localities like nanua, jingha etc
Mainly plastic and other non biodegradable items are made by the USA. Now, some of them realise the severity of the situation and start using alternative solutions. This is the dried ridge gourd/Chinese okra. This has to be attached to its bunch to turn into natural loofah. We call it Toorie.
This gives you a more even scrubbing surface for things like doing dishes/cleaning your house. Using them on the body without sewing would be fine since the uneven texture helps exfoliate, but not for other things.
🇺🇸🌱 They need a long growing season in the USA- so it’s ideal for growing in the south. Give it lots of space- it spreads its vines/ large leaves like crazy! Go UP - let it attach to lattice or wires- if you can. We got hundreds off of only 6 plants. Gorgeous blossoms for the bees etc.
Will def use this form next time! I prefer a bigger shape for showering but for the dishes it gets too complicated, but never thought about sewing, just cutting 😅
This would be such a cool Xmas gift. Imagine people's faces when they realize your grew that and its actually a plant
That would be so shit. I would still take it just to not hurt them but this is shit
@@danielfnvd3839 That’s your opinion, I would love it :)

What plant is that exactly does it grow everywhere???
What is it? A flower? Plant? Vegetable?
in Algeria, it is used during the shower to exfoliate the skin. it is called ''kassa'' or ''loufa''😊
وفي مصر كمان وخصوصا في الريف بيستخدموها🇪🇬
In the north-east India too😂
Its called jika here
Hey thanks for telling us 😇
In West Bengal we call it dhudhul
In India it is called "kuchhja"
You can also eat them while they are still young. Just peel the skin and add them to a stir fry with potatoes, greens, garlic, herbs of your choice.
Ill give that a try! Thanks for sharing
Exactly.. I plant it at home and cook it too.. as soup with rice noodles, egg, fish ball.. U can eat it raw too actually..
Yup actually we Indian eat that vegetable but when it becomes dry we use it like loofah. It is nothing new for us
@@unknownindian108 fr that everyday torai ki Sabzi when it's in the season lol
No way?! What do they taste like?

How long do they last? Particularly if you use it as a shower sponge, and how would you maintain it?

I use this to wash the dishes. In my grandmother's garden there are a lot of them. She planted them, and they thrived.
Is it good to do the dishes?
@@rosameijering5161Yes! I've been using them for a couple of years for doing the dishes. They work great and don't grow bacteria in them as much as the plastic yellow or pink sponges.

Can I get its seeds
In Indian villages,it is used as body scrubber from several years. It's a natural scrubber made from vegetable 🥒
What other countries found/invented way earlier, americans are now making them a "thing" on social media 😂

Hi,in India we use this since a long time as a natural loofah ❤️ so amazing to know that it's used similarly in other parts of the world!

A mire no sabia que se come, en Venezuela se usa para bañarse y lavar platos es muy bueno 👍
Phenomenal idea! Genius. 🥰 I have so many in my closet that I grew and now I know what to do with them. Thank you!
Exactly what I want to do!! I’m excited to plant and start my garden.
Best reel I have watched in eco-friendly biodegradable things.

In India, it is called (ghewda) which is used as vegetable ,when it dry then seperate seed and use as a loofa.
At home in Venezuela we literally just wash them and use them as they are in the shower 😁🚿
In India we don't sew or cut them, we jst peal it off and use them.. It's naturally wonderful.
What's this ?... what's it's Indian name...
@@rachi0315" Jhinga" ..
Where it is famously used in India. I never saw it. Do you know which side it is grown
@@chaichillchapati2509 jharkhand, even I heard Gujarat people also eat it.
This is probably a lot more sustainable than the “scrub daddy”
That crap is just a disgusting waste product. It's crazy how often I see ladies go through packs of them. No self awareness
I just cut mine in half and it works great to have one round side and one flat side for dishes as needed
I like wearing it 😊😊
You just reminded me I need to start my luffa seeds!!
Used to use this in my village in Nigeria for exfoliating the skin and for washing dishes.
ちゃんと形を整えてスポンジにするのが小粋✨
暮らしを楽しんでるのがわかる！
Quand j'étais petite au Congo on l'utilisait comme gants de toilette exfoliante 👌
それかえしてどないせえっちゅうんじゃw
looks really good
There are many uses of these in India, we eat them as vegetables also use them as scrubber of lufa❤

why sew? just cut in half and then quarters and use...saves time and energy + a better loofah for the body with smooth n rough side to use
This gives you a more even scrubbing surface for things like doing dishes/cleaning your house. Using them on the body without sewing would be fine since the uneven texture helps exfoliate, but not for other things.
It reminds me of my childhood. It was the natural lufa we used to scrub our body.
Creative❤
Berry Nice!!
Love this!!
I leave mine in a circle instead of cutting flat- it’s great that way for cleaning cups.
Thanks sister 🥰
I make a dress made of loofah and stand on the street corner and eat an angel food cake and stare.
Sometimes strawberries!
Wow cool 😊😊

We didn't knew they are used as this way as we eat them as vegetable since childhood
We are using it for ages in Egypt, just peel, wash it, and take a shower
I cook this vegetable - ridge gourd, when it is in tender form.
They work perfectly in there natural form.
You cut the part that scrub the most. 😂
We use this for cleaning our skin during bath 😂😂
