Heirloom Loki is a classic bottle gourd variety celebrated across South Asia for its vigorous climbing vines and abundant yields. These vines produce straight 30–60 cm gourds with smooth, light-green skin and creamy white flesh. Ideal for stir-fries, bharwa (stuffed) dishes, soups, or slicing thin for salads.

Well suited to Pakistan’s warm, humid growing season, Loki thrives on trellises or poles, maturing in 60–75 days for a continuous harvest.
