The hairy skin gourd has become very popular in Southern Asia. Fruits are uniform in shape and 1.5-2.0 Kg. in weight, with green skin and thick/firm white flesh. Shaped like a cucumber with splotchy green skin, this “hairy gourd” has a light, neutral flavor like a zucchini, which makes it a versatile cucurbit to cook with. It can also be pickled or used to make a refreshing drink.
The fuzzy covering on young gourds, which have the best texture, can be removed by scrubbing or peeling. Plants are vigorous and high-yield. The flesh is very tender and well flavored, excellent for soups and stir-fry.

I ordered Red Fountain you sent Red Bamboo #381. The other order was Red Dragon, you sent Orange Bamboo #391. Toadstoolseeds.com sent them. I sent you an email about this earlier. Can you send the correct seeds?
I bought some red sunflower seeds from this website. I also bought seeds from the big box store. The seeds I bought from this website sprouted first and look very robust. I am ordering more. Look for the next review once they bloom!!!
The seeds arrived quickly but we did not receive part of our order. We are still waiting for the ones we received to grow so too early for full review.
