Grow fresh sponge gourd at home with our sponge gourd seeds, suitable for kitchen gardens, garden beds, and larger grow bags with proper support. Sponge gourd, commonly known as tori or turai, is a warm-season climbing vegetable used for tori sabzi, tori gosht, tori chana dal, curry, and light home-style meals.
Sow the seeds in loose, fertile, well-drained soil and place the plant where it receives good sunlight. Sponge gourd grows as a vine, so provide a trellis, net, or strong support for better growth, cleaner fruits, and easier harvesting. Keep the soil evenly moist during vine growth, flowering, and fruit setting, and harvest the gourds while they are young, tender, and green.
