Snake Gourd is a remarkably long, slender, and often coiled gourd that resembles a snake. It has a soft, waxy green skin, often with lighter stripes. When cooked, its flesh is very soft and tender, with a mild flavor similar to a zucchini. A popular vegetable in South and Southeast Asian cuisine, it is typically used in curries, stir-fries, and stews (like sayur lodeh). We provide young, tender gourds for the best culinary results.
