Full description:
Mini Bottle Gourd is a compact, fast-growing variety producing small, tender, and edible gourds ideal for cooking or stuffing. Its sweet, mild flesh is perfect for stir-fries, soups, and stews. Rich in water content, vitamins C and B, and minerals, it supports hydration and general wellness. While not classified as a medicinal herb, gourds are traditionally valued for their light, easily digestible nature.
