Bottle Gourd, also known as Lauki, is a staple vegetable in Indian kitchens, celebrated for its mild flavor, high nutritional value, and versatility in cooking. This popular variety produces medium-sized, light green, smooth, elongated fruits that can reach up to 30-50 cm in length. The tender flesh is ideal for curries, soups, stews, and even refreshing juices, making it an essential ingredient in Indian households.

Lauki thrives in India’s warm and humid climate, growing best in well-drained, fertile soils with plenty of sunlight and regular watering. It’s easy to cultivate in home gardens, terrace gardens, or small farms, and grows well in pots with trellis support. The plant’s vigorous vine habit allows it to climb and spread, providing abundant fruits over a long harvest season.

Rich in fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, bottle gourd is a health-friendly addition to any diet. Its low-calorie content and natural cooling properties make it especially popular during hot Indian summers.

This easy to cultivate variety offers a reliable choice for gardeners seeking a productive and nutritious crop.
