Bottle Gourd (Anapakaya)

What is Bottle Gourd (Anapakaya)? Bottle Gourd — known as Anapakaya in Telugu, Lauki or Dudhi in Hindi, and botanically as Lagenaria siceraria — is a mild, pale-green summer squash with soft white flesh and a delicate, slightly sweet flavor. When young and tender, the skin is thin enough to cook with, and the flesh turns silky in dals, curries, and stews. At Marigold Farms , we harvest Anapakaya at peak tenderness so you get farm-fresh gourds suited to everyday South Asian home cooking — not the oversized, seedy specimens that sit too long in the cold chain.
