FAQs about gourds
You can cook gourds like you would squash, pumpkin, or zucchini. Younger, unripe gourds taste best, and many types of gourds have skin that hardens as they mature. You can peel gourds and roast them in the oven with other vegetables and spices. You can also blend them into a paste and use them in pies and curries. However, some gourds, like the dipper gourd, are inedible. People only use them for tools and decorations.
You should harvest gourds for decorative purposes when the stem starts to dry and turn brown. Choose gourds with no bruises or scratches, and wash them in warm water. Then, dry them and wipe them with disinfectant to kill any organisms that could cause decay. Place them in a warm, dry place, like a garage, on clean newspapers for several weeks. Make sure they don't touch, and discard any gourds that start to decay.
After several weeks, the outer skin of the gourds will dry and harden, and you'll be about to hear the seeds inside when you shake them. You can use gourds as decorations without making any other changes, or you can polish them with sandpaper or steel wool and then add wax or paint.
You can choose a variety of gourds for eating or decor through Instacart. Submit your next gourd order through the Instacart app and receive fresh produce in as little as 2 hours!
