My mom lived in Brazil for couple of year and my mom said, that when she was in Brazil, the markets were full of Bucha/luffa for sale and people use them for washing dishes and also for bathing. which is awesome and eco-friendly, than using sponges for the same purpose.
What I don't agree with, is using bleach to clean and process the luffa to make them ''snow white''
Bleach is such a toxic chemical and using the bleach processed luffa to bath ones self and get this chemical on our body
No thanks...even if it's for free
I have never grown luffa before
but, i have seen a trellis full of Buchas here...I will ask for some seeds and grow some in my orchard
