Bottle Gourd - Natural Dried Calabash Multipurpose Use For Utensils And Containers

We are engaged in manufacturing and supplying of bottle guard in Bengaluru Karnataka India. The calabash bottle gourd or white-flowered gourd Lagenaria siceraria (synonym Lagenaria vulgaris Ser.) also known as opo squash (from Tagalog: upo) or long melon is a vine grown for its fruit which can either be harvested young and used as a vegetable or harvested mature dried and used as a bottle utensil or pipe. The fresh fruit has a light-green smooth skin and a white flesh. Rounder varieties are called calabash gourds. They grow in a variety of shapes: they can be huge and rounded small and bottle shaped or slim and serpentine more than a metre long. Because bottle gourds are also called "calabashes" they are sometimes confused with the hard hollow fruits of the unrelated calabash tree Crescentia cujete whose fruits are also used to make utensils containers and musical instruments. The gourd was one of the first cultivated plants in the world grown not primarily for food but for use as water containers.
