Jali, also known as sponge gourd (Luffa cylindrica), is a tropical vegetable commonly grown in Asia. It has a cylindrical shape with a ridged green exterior and a soft, spongy interior. Jali is highly nutritious, containing vitamins A and C, potassium, and dietary fiber, making it beneficial for digestion, skin health, and immunity. It is a versatile ingredient in Bengali cuisine, often prepared as stir-fries, curries, or soups. When fully matured and dried, Jali becomes fibrous and is used as a natural loofah or sponge. This dual-purpose plant is valued for both its culinary and practical applications.
