Chinatown Colours - A Mysterious Vegetable, not a Saguaro Cactus
Toujours a Chinatown ... une legume mysterieuse, un concombre masqué ?
Vive Google ... j'ai trouve le concombre !
Il s'appelle Sinqua.
Voila la description:
Sinqua: Also known as “luffa,” sinqua can be found in angled and smooth varieties. Angled luffa looks like a zucchini with ridges that run lengthwise. Typically eaten when it’s young, it also tastes a bit like zucchini but sweeter. Its spongy texture soaks up the flavor of foods it’s cooked with. Smooth luffa, when grown to maturity and soaked in bleach, peeled, and dried, can be used as a household scrubber—the “loofah sponge.”
