About this Item

F1 White Short Snake Gourd is a vigorous climbing vegetable variety known for its uniform, short, straight fruits and soft edible flesh. The fruits have a pale-green to whitish skin and a mild taste, making them suitable for curries, stir-fries, soups, stuffed dishes, and traditional recipes.

The plant grows best in warm weather and requires a strong trellis, net, or pergola for support. Regular harvesting while the fruits are young helps maintain tenderness and encourages continuous production.
