Description
Les éponges en luffa naturelles proviennent en fait des fruits des plantes grimpantes Luffa. Ces plantes font partie de la famille des cucurbitacées, ce qui en fait des parents des pastèques, des concombres et des citrouilles. Lorsqu'un fruit de luffa sèche et est pelé, il reste son intérieur fibreux, qui peut être utilisé comme éponge.
