Organic Luffa grown in Quebec – Grand (Vegetable Fibre)
18,95$
Luffa, vegetable sponges from a squash, can be used for a variety of uses.
Among other things, exfoliating the skin, cleaning fruits and vegetables and even dishes.
With its large size, it can gladly be cut in order to make different uses.
If they are well maintained (well dried between use), they can be stored for months and then composted. All the most environmentally friendly and zero waste as a product!
To date, La Fibre Vegetal is the only producer of luffas in Quebec. Once we have sold our stock, we will have to wait until October 2021 for us to have more!

This loofa measures approximately 7-8 inches.
Good to know:
- Luffa sponges sold in Quebec come largely from Asia and the Middle East.
- Although they are sometimes certified organic, they are often treated in such a way as to avoid the importation of undesirable organisms.
- They are compacted and delivered by container. They travel a very long way before they arrive in your house!
The short story:
- Vegetable sponges come from a plant in the cucurbitaceae family, luffa or loofah.
- It’s a subtropical plant. Ideally, it grows in greenhouses in our latitudes. Grown in a greenhouse, it reaches full maturity and thus yields a greater number of fruits.
- The plant produces squash about 50 cm long on average.
- At maturity, the flesh inside the fruit dries to leave only the fiber. The squashes are then peeled and washed with care, then comes the arduous step of getting the seeds out of the fruit. Then they will be dried in the sun and ready to be used.
Interview: Wash in the dishwasher or washer. Do not dry them. When their useful life is over, compost.
