Bottle gourd, known as calabash or locally as upo, is a vine-growing fruit cultivated in tropical, warm climates. The young fruits are edible and mainly consumed as a vegetable, while mature gourds are made into ornaments, utensils, or containers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love upo as it has a mild, delicate flavor with a hint of sweetness that lends well to various cooking applications. It's also relatively cheap and plentiful year-round. If you want more ways to enjoy it, check out my pancit upo <\/a>and sotanghon at upo soup<\/a> recipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
