Snake gourd, scientifically known as Trichosanthes cucumerina, is a long, slender, curved vegetable belonging to the gourd family (Cucurbitaceae). Native to South and Southeast Asia, snake gourd is widely cultivated for its edible fruits and young shoots, which are used in culinary preparations.
The snake gourd gets its name from its elongated shape and rough, ridged skin, resembling a snake. The flesh of the fruit is white and spongy with small seeds embedded in it. When young, the skin of the fruit is tender and edible, while the mature fruit develops a tough outer skin that is usually removed before cooking.
