Gourd, what is that?
#Kalebas . I had to look up the word first. Of course I know the word, but what it is, a gourd is a kind of pumpkin. That's how far my knowledge reached. But that you can dry and hollow the fruit, that was new information for me. It seems that in Africa the fruit is used for making musical instruments, such as samba balls. According to the website stiggelbout.nl , gourds are light and strong and have a unique sound. The dried fruits are sometimes painted and used as a decorative object. A search on the Internet taught me that lampshades and vases can even be made of them. You can grow them in your own garden, just look at https://nl.wikihow.com/Kalebassen-kweken . Also, the fruit is suitable for soup: https://www.kookjij.nl/recepten/kalebas-gevuld-met-pittige-kalebassoep .
So gourds are very versatile. That way you learn something every day.
