Luffa Sponge Cut & Sifted 250 gm: V Full Description
A member of the squash family, the luffa sponge is widely distributed and fairly typical of a wild squash. Luffa fruits are oblong or cylindrical, smooth, and many-seeded. Luffa flowers are bright yellow. The luffa fruit, when mature, is brown and resembles the cucumber. The fruit of the loofah (Luffa cylindrica), also known as the sponge or dishcloth gourd, is familiar as a coarse mesh sponge used in the bath. As the long cylindrical fruit matures, its skin changes from green to yellow and then brown. After soaking in water, the skin can be peeled off to reveal the cylindrical network of cream or golden fibres. The seeds and pulp are washed away and then the loofah is dried in the sun. Loofahs are grown commercially in most tropical regions but the best come from Japan. The fibrous network provides a very efficient shock absorber, and as such is used to make sandals and insoles for shoes as well as stuffing for mattresses and saddles. Its good insulation properties are valuable for pot-holders, table mats, doormats and linings for army helmets. Until recently, loofahs were also used as filters in ships’ engines. Loofah fruits can be eaten, but L. cylindrica tastes rather bitter and may be toxic. The other commonly grown species, L. acutangula, makes better eating and is harvested at 10 cm long for this purpose. Both species are valued in folk medicine. Their leaves were used in the treatment of skin diseases, and the juice from the stem for respiratory complaints and as a skin lotion. The seeds have an emetic and purgative action. This is Plum Flower brand's nitrogen-flushed vacuum pack. Plum Flower is one of the most distinguished herb houses in the world. Sulfur Free, Chlorine Free, Aluminum Phosphate Free. Sulfites are used to give herbs the appearance of freshness. As with dried fruit, unsulfured herbs look different than those that are adulterated with preservatives. Herbs that are preservative free are more natural looking and are generally darker. The brightness of the herbs may be appealing, but it indicates the presence of harmful additives. Despite their appearance, unsulfured herbs are more fresh and safer than regular commercially available products. The use of sulfur, chlorine and aluminum phosphate was made unnecessary through the establishment of Plum Flower processing stations in China. Herb harvesters slice and process the herbs fresh, avoiding the need to rehydrate dried herbs later to process. This first step is crucial, as rehydration leads to decomposition and thus the need for preservatives. The herbs are then packed and the packages vacuum-packed, injected with nitrogen, and sealed. The nitrogen process combined with the lack of sulfur treatment inhibits the growth of anaerobic organisms, resulting in safer, higher quality herbs. After opening, store in a cool dry place. The facilities in Lanzhou and Guang Zhou, China, scientifically test each batch of herbs before, during and after the processing to
