Bottle gourd seed
Bottle gourd seeds are small, flat mature seeds that may be whole, dried or shelled, and can be roasted or added to cooked foods.
About Bottle gourd seed
Bottle gourd seeds are the seeds removed from the mature fruit of the bottle gourd. They are small, flat, and pale, enclosed in a hard outer coat when fully mature. Depending on maturity and handling, seeds may be sold whole, dried, or shelled; their texture and flavour differ between forms.
In regions where they are eaten, the seeds may be roasted or used in cooked foods, sometimes after shelling. They are not interchangeable with the tender flesh of an immature bottle gourd. Trade and culinary use vary, so the exact preparation and whether the shell is retained matter when identifying the edible product.
