    Luffa
    is a genus of tropical and subtropical vines in the cucumber family.
    In everyday non-technical usage, the luffa, also spelled
    loofah
    , usually refers to the fruit of the two species
    L. aegyptiaca
    and
    L. acutangula
    . The fruit of these species is cultivated and eaten as a vegetable. The fruit must be harvested at a young stage of development to be edible. The vegetable is popular in India, China and Vietnam. When the fruit is fully ripened, it is very fibrous. The fully developed fruit is the source of the loofah scrubbing sponge which is used in bathrooms and kitchens
