    I’ve grown these before! Apparently you can eat them when they’re small, or let them mature into what we would all recognize as a loofah. Like any vine, they need plenty of space or a good trellis.

      Yes, it’s a common vegetable in India.

    Be careful, it can eat a magic fruit and go on a pirate adventure for some big treasure

    I read this as “exhilarating loofah”
