Hachima Sponges

These long green veggies were nice to eat when they were the size of cukes, but the ones that get too long you just let grow and then MIL made some natural veggie sponges with them.
First you soak them in water for several days until you can peal off the skin (below)
When the skin is off  and they dry (below)then you have these natural sponge like things.  I took one in and tied a string on it to use in the bath.  It worked okay, but I prefer my synthetic soft nylon scratcher washer.  These have a tendency to leave droppings and the seeds inside come out and make kind of a mess.  I think I will pass on going green with these!
