We are an online-only luxury furniture and lighting boutique, and do not have a warehouse. Consequently, all orders are drop shipped directly from our manufacturers to your door. If your order includes items from more than one manufacturer, you will receive multiple deliveries. Because we are dependent on the on-hand inventory of our manufacturing partners, some items listed on our site may not actually be available right away. Please call us at 888.784.4644 or via our contact form with any stocking questions and we'll get in touch with the appropriate manufacturer for answers, before you place your order.Ground Shipping
Small parcel items ship regular ground via delivery services such as FedEx, UPS or DHL. Orders typically take 2-3 business days to process and in-stock items will usually be delivered 3-5 days from the date that they ship (depending on origin and destination). If there is a delay, you will be notified by email. No signature is required for standard ground shipping, so you may want to make arrangements to have packages brought inside soon after delivery, if you are unable to receive it in person.Description
Bottle Gourd Desi, commonly known as “Lauki,” is a popular vegetable in Indian households, known for its versatility and health benefits. This variety of bottle gourd is distinguished by its cylindrical, elongated shape, typically light green in color, with a smooth skin and a firm, tender flesh inside. The Desi variety is well-suited for cultivation in the Indian climate and can be grown both in open fields and home gardens.
The plant is a vigorous climber, requiring support for optimal growth. It thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH range of 6.0 to 7.5. Bottle Gourd Desi prefers warm temperatures, with an ideal growing range between 25°C to 35°C. It requires regular watering, especially during the flowering and fruiting stages, to ensure healthy growth and high yield.
The fruit itself is rich in essential nutrients such as vitamins C, B, and A, along with minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium. It is low in calories, making it an excellent choice for health-conscious individuals. The tender gourds are ideal for cooking, as they retain their texture and flavor even after being cooked in various dishes like curries, soups, and stir-fries. Additionally, the Bottle Gourd Desi is known for its long shelf life and resistance to common pests and diseases, making it a preferred choice for both farmers and consumers alike.
