Other Features And Applications
Ash gourds have edible leaves and stems that can be harvested at any time and cooked like other greens. Flowering begins anywhere from 45 to 100 days after sowing, and you can start picking immature gourds about a week after the flowers appear. Immature fruit can be cooked in the same ways as summer squash. Mature gourds need to stay on the vine for 30 to 40 days after flowering, or until they develop their characteristic white, waxy coating. Ash gourds have a mild flavor, making them a common ingredient in curries, soups and Asian stir-fries. Mature fruit stores for up to six months if kept in a cool, dry place, but you should eat young gourds within a week of picking.
