Use a natural sponge that can be composted when you're done with it. Eco-friendly! See at which stage of growth is best for using a loofah as a sponge. See how to clean it and prepare it for use. No it's not a sea sponge. It grows on a vine!

In Meghalaya, one of the states of India this product has been used in various types of cleaning works for centuries. It is one of the local product. It is eadible when it young green... and turned loofah, as you showed it here.

Thank you for your comment. I hope to make a video this season on how to grow loofah & use it, like you shared, as a food too!

I'm sure after two years you know to wet them to remove the skin easier? You can roast those green ones in the over for 30 minutes and that skin peels off in one piece.? Big hugs

I have a few spots in the garden where I do this! Weeds too! It breaks down and becomes soil!

You got it! Shake off the water in the shower and just leave it there for the next shower. I change mine when it get too soft and compact.

Just enough time to soften the skin so that when you take it off it doesn't pull the fibres but leaves it smoother.

Hello...the seeds that you removed from the light green colour luffa in the beginning of the video...were they viable seeds!thank you

They could have been as they were black... but the best ones to use are from the brown loofah.
