How to Pick

When picking a luffa, look for one that is firm and feels heavy for its size, as this indicates freshness.

Avoid luffas with any soft or discolored spots, as they may be overripe or spoiled. Additionally, choose luffas with a uniform green color and avoid any with yellowing or browning patches, as they may be past their prime. By selecting a luffa that meets these criteria, you can ensure that you are getting a high-quality and fresh product for use in your skincare routine or culinary endeavors.

How to Store

Luffa should be stored in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. It is best to store it in a well-ventilated area to prevent mold and mildew. 

Avoid refrigerating luffa as it can cause the vegetable to become mushy. Proper storage will help maintain the texture and quality of the luffa, ensuring that it remains fresh and ready for use.

Our luffa are grown in the warm and sunny regions of Queensland, Australia, where they thrive in the subtropical climate. Our farmers carefully tend to the luffa plants to ensure they are of the highest quality before being harvested for our products.
