• Loofah as food, Loofah...
I'm glad I happened to see this. My vines produced in two spurts and the first dozen or so are dry and have been sitting in the house for a month. Meanwhile, vines produced another 20, and some are still green. Have not eaten one.
Music drowns out the commentary. It's a bit irritating.
Next time the jar isn't opening easy, smack it softly against the counter with the lid on its side..It will open smoothly..
The music nearly drowned out your voice
same
Samezies
agreed - so distracting
I was able to hear you perfectly. I wondered if you have gotten more of these luffa seeds to sell?
That is the biggest luffa I have ever seen!
What variety is this?
World record breaking luffa down her stomach
Hi!! These luffas got soo huge! Just 1 luffa was enough to slice up and give to my family to use. Haha I got seeds on my site. I will leave a link in the description below the video.
I had no clue you could pick them that big and them still be edible! Great info!!!! You did make me nervous with that knife though 😂😂😂 CHOP CHOP!! Super excited to attempt luffa for lunch tomorrow!!
Me neither everybody always says pick them when they are small . This is awesome
My mom only fertilized it once and never again. She did watered a lot though, morning and evening. She has the larger variety so it should grow bigger than normal ones if you let it grow. The seeds are very soft when luffa is young. Try a smaller (younger) one next time. :) Luffa loves heat and water so you would probably need to water more.
I absolutely loved watching her, she reminds me of my daughter- I do want to say, music is a bit much. But also- dont forget to de-seed (only to the part where she is wedging and cutting) and wash the plant lol. -Im sure mama wants those seeds to be able to plant again. Good video though
The seeds are only viable if they are harvested *after* the fruit has out on the vine, as shown on this other video: th-cam.com/video/5mvNXlaK7s8/w-d-xo.html
Im gonna try vooking it tomorrow. I wasnt sure if we could rat the latge ones or not. Mines feel soft on the outside, well see. Excited.❤
Loofah is a sponge when it gets old and dries out. We're still waiting for the largest one on the vine to dry! It seems like it would take quite some time to dry.
No need for the music , it sucks big time
+MrHollywoodCoe I was gonna mention the awful, in-sidious background-musak with few vernaculars but then I read your comment. Is there any way to enjoy the clip WITHOUT?
Yeah turn down the volume and read her lips :)
+Dragon y2k - Smart ...-Dragon ;-) The background musak is still a drag to the otherwise good clip
What part of the luffa becomes the scrubber? I've had a foot-long plus scrubber given to us in the 1980s. It's nicely made, with cotton fabric sewn along the edges and cotton loop straps to help scrub your back. Some cross stitching across the luffa. This thing will never wear out and has been subjected to innumerable showers. Please do a video on indestructible scrubbers!
The inside or the meat of the luffa is the scrubber. After it has matured and dried out, it turns into a sponge.
I prefer them waaaay youger/smaller than this. I like them before thet get seedy and gap in the middle, while the centers are still solid. Just like summer squash or zucchini, younger is better. You can also eat the blossoms, if you like that sort of thing.
Can you chop them up and put them in the freezer or do you have to blanch them?
Wendi!!! Guess what came today?!!! Thank you so much, you are so sweet! I can't wait for the Marimo's to come. Thank you for all your videos!!! Going to go plant my beautiful loofah seeds now :) Hugs to you and bless you always in all you do. Again, give your mom a hug for me and tell her thank you for sharing her seeds and thank you for taking the time to send them!
seen it but had no clue what it was. looks healthy and useful. hope it grows by me.
You could simply put the jar in boiling water (baño maria) in you will struggle no more with sticky honey! :)
You are awesome, you didn't waste anything. Great video!
rzashida I make the skin into a pesto that is savory, tart, hot & a little sweet all at the same time, with very little oil (I like to use peanut oil for this) & the pesto also has some crisp roastes dry legumes, curry leaves, & seasme seeds ground in to add some protein to it The heat comes from fresh green chillies & dry whole red chilies.Every taste is controlled depending on the personal perference. My children love it as a sandwich spread. But it tastes delicious even with hustt piping hot plain rice with a teaspoon of clarified butter added for flavoring just as you would drizzle olive oil on your salad.
Pause it at 20 seconds it's so GIGANTIC... but from the look on her face she loves it. 🤣
I planted these and they are amazing.. My neighbors slow down as they pass by to figure out what these are I LOVE IT....One is 21.5" but mine are very light in color they are just now starting to turn and getting old.
Are the seeds edible with the coating like pumpkin seeds
Can the seeds be ground as used as a flour?
namaste....
Came across your channel while searching for a particular recipe. Now, I am hooked on your videos :)
With all of the various types of produce grown, how large is the plot of land for your garden. Where does your mother, and or you, acquire your seeds? So many exotic fruits, vegetables. etc. Am so envious of your mother and you opportunity to grow so much.
Shop frequently at the Vietnamese market in Austin TX and now after viewing your videos. am not so bewildered by the unusual fruits, vegetables in their produce section and eager to experiment. Thank you so much for your positive and informative channel. BTW, rinse the honey jar under some hot water and the lid will open easily....:)
+akaimon3 Namaste. My garden is no bigger than any normal size homes. I switch up growing different things once any crop is finished. I came across some of the variety of plants I grow from spontaneous trips, plant shows, and random places. :) Hope you try some of the things at your produce section. You have to try it once to know if you like it. Thanks for the tip on the honey jar! Hope you will enjoy more upcoming videos.
Just put the top of the jar under hot water, or tap on the side rim a few times and you can get the lid to unscrew. : )
Honey jar should have warm or hot water run on it to loosen the hardened rim🙂
Thanks for this lesson, will try this!
I was looking at your video again and was trying to figure out what variety your Mom grew? Seems if it's edible at that size, and the seeds are still white (immature), this is an Angled Luffa? We farm luffa cylindrica for sponges and they grow about 2ft max.
+PaulOrientedotcom I don't know the actual name of this variety, but skin has a smooth texture so it's not angled luffa. It does get pretty long and still edible. :) Hope you find the variety.
Thanks for answering Wendi. There are several varieties and if grown near other gourds/squash it could cross-pollinate and produce something different.
Warm water running on the lid seam will get the honey jar open easier.
hello wendy
you have great energy and educational videos. thank you.
Thank you Sekou! Hope you enjoy my other episodes as well! Have a great weekend!
Hello do you sell lufah seeds? I want some and i am in Mozambique.
I grew smaller loofah to use as sponges. I haven't tried to eat them yet. I noticed that they a have a peppery kind of smell. it reminds me of Nacho cheese. what I want to know is if you pick them small like the size of a cucumber can you eat them raw? like in a salad or with dip. I wonder if they could be dehydrated for chips.
Cool Video! Thank you. BTW, to open a tight fitted jar- just run lid under hot water and BLAMO! it will open easily. Has to do with different coefficients of expansion.
If you have a lid hard to take off run it under HOT water, it will loosen up! Great video!
Hi Wendy, loved your loofa plant. How can I buy some seeds? I live in Australia and it is the right time to grow them now. I 've always wanted to grow some.
Does she ship here? I know we have a tough time getting biological matter through customs
always run stuck lids under warm water it will loosen right away because it expands.
Thank you for the tip! That would have been helpful. lol :D
How do you store the scrub? In the refrigerator??
Didn’t look like you wanted to eat that at all 😂. This was an informative video on loofahs. Never knew it was in the zucchini family
Linda!! You are so welcome! You got to keep me posted with your luffa! It should be really fast growing where you are, probably year round too! Look forward to sending you more things in the future. And give your family a hug for me too! Take care :D
Hi. What is the Breed of the Loofah You used in this video. I have neer seen sucha big loofah in Tender stage to eat. Can it become spongy if you have not cut the POD??? Kindly Reply the type of Breed and the seed info. Please
oh wow, mammoth veggie... any gardening tips for the novice? lol your mother is an amazing gardener. i'm in awe with the size of those things. and i never thought you could eat them. thats awesome. thanks for sharing =)
I can't get over the size of your luffas!!! Mine only get a foot to 15" long dried. Do you sell seeds??? Love your videos!
hello by any chance would you share some of the loofah seeds...those giants are very beautiful
I will when there’s more next year. Happy gardening!
My mom cuts it into chunks and it is good 😊
bang the edge of the lid with a butter knife a few times, will open up with minimal effort after
Where can I buy the seed for the loofah like this. I grow many kind of vegetable but not this big. If you know whee can I buy this seed please let me know. Thank you so much for you video and good luck with your garden.
+Terry Lanh buy them online.
I just bought some at target. I didn't know you could grow them at home until I saw the seeds.
Wow I didn't know they sold them anywhere...
I buy from baker creek rare seeds great company, no complaints.
Terry Lanh
I got mine from Amazon. they are inexpensive and are growing like crazy!!!!
Why would you take a bite then put what's left back in the pot?
Wendi, you are an inspiration.
Please Wendi turn on the subtitles so I can understand a little bit better too.Thank you 🤗 🥰 ❤ 🙏 🌺 🙆♀️ 🙋♀️ .
I wish I can buy seed from you, but sold out. Is it possible to pay first then whenever you have then send it to me please I love them so much.
Can I buy seeds from your luffa?
This is a great video. Grains of paradise is not pepper. It does kind of look and taste like pepper.
You have a really big loofah! I like to cook it with calm. It is a perfect combination!
Probably be good with a lil miso. 😁
🌍🌎🌏 Wendi, your channel is very enjoyable ; thanks for sharing your time and recipes with your viewers ❣✌ &. 👍👍 ( 10-19-2017 )
Thank you Mae!
Can u can them? Or pickle them?
Amazing! Thank you!
What country is this where the loofah is food
What I meant was I thought they were actual sponges from the ocean.
squito94 both exist, loofa sponges from the ocean and loofa the plant scrubbers
Really interesting, didn’t know you can eat them!
It's just a type of cucumber.. :)
Are the seeds still available
Good job wendi.
How can I get some of your Giant Luffa seeds? Thanks.
Hello, W.P., which Country's cooking. Thanks, I am watching from Canada 🇨🇦.
Sad, the music in the beginning of the video is way too loud, and you can't hear the dialouge....the music during the remainder of the video is just a wee bit too loud and distracting....suggestion...if you're going to use music in the background, something other than the same 4 bars of music might make a big improvement....it's very distracting...other than that, thanks for sharing.
Just stumbled on your video do you have any of these seeds you would sell?
Hi Carrie! Here is the link for the seeds: wendiland.com/products/luffa-gourd-seeds Look forward to sending them to you so you can grow your own! :)
That thing is huge. And its organic
Great video thank you so much for sharing
how do you not have your own cooking show?
Hi..what kind of luffa is that plz
Next time your lid of your honey jar sticks run it under some hot water it will help
Haaa yeah thank you for the tip!
Can get seeds can you sale.
Loofah used it getting rid of grey hair? 😂 I heard it can cause your hair to grow it's natural color.
7:21 That’s what she said!
that was very easy simple way. what kind of vegetable is this loofah ?? what nation is this from Ms Phan ?
Vinod Bhatia I believe Loofah is native to Asia or Africa. Most gourds originate from Africa. Loofah is very popular in Vietnam, China, some of the southeastern Asia. The vegetable is already sweet, I prefer to keep the dish simple to let the loofah stand out.
+Wendi Phan Yes Wendi. Luffa/loofah is a cucurbit and related to cucumbers. It's prepared with curry in India. The roast black seeds, young leaves, and flowers are also edible. Luffa seeds can be pressed to extract the oil. It's an interesting plant and studies continue to learn more about it.
Wendi Phan ,
Good, informative video, but you need to control the volume of the background music. Remember, it's BACKGROUND music and should be present, but barely audible. The girl's voice should be clearly audible. I see so many good videos ruined by background music that is FAR too loud. Thanks for posting.
Lol she reminds me of my sister when she calls for help to open a jar 😂
Aime bien m'informer sur ce que la nature nous offre TH-cam esut formidable pour voir et regarder le monde dans sa formidable variété.
7:21 😁 so cute!
Your video was very informative however the background music was way too loud could hardly hear you talking
Hi there Wendi, amazing video. Thanks for sharing this knowledge! I can't wait for the next growing season! :D
We will move to warm and sunny Greece soon from cold and cloudy Holland. Next spring I hope to create a nice shady outdoor living area using metal wire and wood. I have been looking at several different kinds of climbing annuals on the Plants For A Future (PFAF.org) website. On the PFAF page it says the Loofa will climb up to 15 meters tall (I believe thats 45 feet).
Would you agree on that? I hope to build the trellis up from the ground and reaching about 4 meters high to the edge of the roof.
Also, do you think it would create a nice thick shady area? I have sat underneath pumpkin shade before and it was amazing, they just don't grow that tall as far as I know.
I like your blending technique 😈
warm or hot water on that honey lid will make it let go.
I am look for this seeds.
Her graphics were the best part of the video ☹️
wendi. congratulations for your show. i love nature. can the loofah be raw ?
+Juvena Vera Loofah can be eaten raw, but if you never tried it raw, take it slowly just like anything else. :) Thank you for watching!
Do u like egg ?
I'll give u one recipe first cut the loofah a little smaller than u did in this video
heat the pan add the vegetable oil
wait a few min for the oil to get hot meanwhile beat the garlic
throw the garlic into the pan ,give it a stir add the egg (1 or 2 )
stir well and let the egg cook
add the loofah stir
add salt sugar or soysauce or fish-sauce as you like actually u don't need sugar
I really liked what you did, it would be so nice to hear, but the music won't let me
Here’s to you getting a steel peeler and jar gripper. 😉
Why does your dog have a green light flashing under his skin?
OOh that's the camera trying to focus on her! Lol
7:30. Lol. Run hot water over it under the faucet.
Wendy can you share some seeds of your gigantic luffa please?
Starts @ 1:55
Going to try this next spring :) Thank you.
good subject, but music too loud to hear you
Great Video!
The music is too loud and you could have sped up the sequences.
No one can hear you the music is very loud
Please turn off the background music (noise), it detracts from the video.
Please see an updated episode of luffa without music since old one cannot be changed. th-cam.com/video/aEmnQB5_yQ0/w-d-xo.html
Bạn là người Việt Nam?
very good
