Ridge Gourd / Turai (Luffa) FROM INDIA
Ridge Gourd (Turai / Ghosal) is a prominent, dark-green vegetable characterized by its sharp longitudinal ridges. When harvested tender, the inner white flesh is extremely soft and slightly sweet, making it a favorite in South Asian cooking. Our export quality ridge gourds are selected for their straightness, vibrant color, and lack of internal sponginess/seeds.
