Bottle Gourd - HS Code: 12099190

Calabash, also known as bottle gourd, white-flowered gourd, long melon, New Guinea bean and Tasmania bean is a vine grown for its fruit. It can be either harvested young to be consumed as a vegetable, or harvested mature to be dried and used as a utensil. When it is fresh, the fruit has a light green smooth skin and white flesh.

    Bottle gourd prevents excess sodium loss and also helps in preventing fatigue.

    The bottle gourd is considered a hard shell gourd, but the flesh is edible. Bottle gourds are green and often resemble either a fat cucumber or an eggplant. A longer, thinner version of the bottle gourd is called the cucuzzi.

    Bottle Gourd is available with AM Global Traders round the year.
