Fun fact: loofahs are very delicious in soups and other foods if you harvest them early when they aren’t ripe and dried. I have made loofah and meat soup several times and it is perfection.
@@Chris-fh3db I’ve made it with several types of meat. All are delicious with loofah but if you make it with ground pork and put into the soup like little meatballs its even better. But yea honestly it’s pretty good with any kind of meat. Edit: it’s not just two ingredients of course you have to have water and some stock and seasonings. There’s actually a lot of Vietnamese recipe videos on loofah soup. But some fried shallots, beef broth, salt water, fish sauce, loofah, and beef, pork, or chicken does a pretty good job. Loofahs can also be fried and made in all assortments.
@@romanwilliams1960we usually just pick it up from your garden It's like spinach, they simply grown everwere and he collect it But you can of course buy the seeds online
@@romanwilliams1960 Here in Brazil people normaly plant it. But, the brazilians if doesn't have a backiard normaly buy it in a shower shops (loja de banho em portugues) or in supermarkets that have it. For example, dont have a shower shop in my city, so i buy it in a supermarket. Here its called "bucha"
Yeah… that’s… why you soak it again…? That’s also how wet and dry things work, since water often effects the properties of other materials that way. ✨Science!✨ The more you know! 🌈
@rockylilypop951 Clearly you don't. Not all wet things return to form after drying. Embarrassing for you they weren't confused they were highlighting a good quality
@@AwwYouTried8639 sooo....you're pinpointing me because of sarcasm? Yes, sannu did explain common sense. Other hand, BabyDoll made it way funnier because, dont we all know about this? Just because one purpose of a sponge from a stem is represented in the video and we're talking common sense and satirement, doesnt mean we should share off knowledge. We're not dumb. We can just learn it because its free to do so.
I've bathed with these for weeks later to find bugs and plants living inside of it... I guess the moisture after bathing was the answer to this one ...(💀💀)
@@NoctisTheBogWitchpeople are getting sensitive these days it’s perfectly fine for people who don’t use caustic shampoos and body washes. These body washes and etc making everyone lose their tolerance to nature and get allergies from everything
as an Indian its common here to see these trees near ponds and rivers. We used to throw stones at dried fruit(veggie) and use them while having a nice evening bath at the river after finishing the cricket game. 😢 missing that days
I live in the middle east, to me this is what I used my entire life, when I went to Sweden the first time I used this weird flower plastic scrubber thing that most people use there. Loofah feels objectively better, the only downside to it is that you have to replace it more often than the plastic scrubber.
@@versificatormoon2157parents rubbing off the dirt roughly can hurt. Having to stay still while your parent scolds you entire time can feel like forever to a kid 😂
As an arabic person, we use this for showering. I've been using this for showering since i was a kid they may hurt at first because you're not used to it, but it makes your body so clean, and it's literally so amazing their is a hard side and soft side use which side you like to clean your body but you'll literally feeling so amazing and clean after using it.
We grow Loofahs at home to do these purposes, aswell as they are an amazing dish sponge! Try it out! Super worth! Saves money, and you can compost it as she said once you're done!
Fun fact bacteria thrive in plastic so this is actually more clean than your plastic loofah, that’s why wooden cutting board is better than plastic ones you might think that plastic is easier to clean and more cleaner but bacteria breeds more in plastic than wood
I think its like a plant that was dried and decomposed until its fibers are left, then you wash with it. I found it at my “lola’s” (grandma’s) house on my vaca there.
Fun fact these actually originated in Egypt and are still available today it’s also really stiff bc it helps get all the gunk out ur skin and I know this cause I’m from Egypt
i bought one of these on amazon thinking it would be a little stiffer and more abrasive cause i needed it for dry skin but it was borderline a washcloth texture
My mom used to used that on me when I was young... It left rashes all over my body but it cleaned all right...... In Assam, India this is actually used till this day in rural households
My mom walked in with slices of those telling us “alright girls u see this it’s for cleaning your face it’s hard but when you add water it’s still hard” and we all started laughing and we’re like why would u wanna use that?
We use that a lot here in Mexico, and no, it's not compostable after de use, because if full of other stuff after cleaning, but is really cheap here at least
I love them! I always cut them into slices so theyre easier to use and I can dedicate them to different things in my apartment. (and also apparently you can make them into soup!)
I am Indian and in our country this product is very common you can find it in any ruler area and it is very common for😂❤ proud to be an Indian and we have lots of things
Yes I have seen one and it use to grow all over the compound like a wild plant I mean they are climbers, I used them when I was younger probably in my teens 😂, this was in India though.
