Gourd: Ash: Yash -NEW!

We had several people ask us to add this to our catalog this year, so here it is! Seeds of India says: “Yash is a uniformly round variety of Ash Gourd, also known as Wax gourd, winter melon, fuzzy melon, and hairy melon. The fruit is covered by a white, chalky wax which deters microorganisms and helps impart an extraordinary longevity to the melon. Winter melon fruits can be stored for as long as a year without refrigeration. Ash gourd can be used in many variety of dishes from curries to soups to candies.” Benincasa hispida
