\Very rare variety which is giant in size compared to any other ridgegourd varieties you might have seen in the market. Almost reaching a height of 90 to 95cms. Amazingly delicious taste and brings rich flavour.

HOOGA team identified this variety while we were doing our seed collection and mapping with rural communities in Sathyamangalam Tiger reserve Region. We thank our seed keepers Nandhakumar and his mother who supported us in identifying this variety and saving them for more than a decade.
