No part of the hig-ero gourd is edible, but it's hard outer shell makes it ideal for turning into a bowl, cup, container or any other similar vessel or dish. Best of all, it requires very little work to do so

Great video!
Yes. you could eat it: IMO is Crescentia Cujete and is used more often as a medicinal plant in addition to the utility of the gourd shell. The primary effect of this fruit is as a potent laxative, the rest of the plant has other medicinal uses and is part of the lore in the DR.

Love it! I am from a small town called Cabrera in the northeast coast of the Dominican Republic. My grandfather had one of these trees and me and my siblings and cousins climbed on it all the time. They used the higuero gourd to make drinking cups and containers to wash the food.

Felix kind of sounds like an old Carpenter I used to work with. We didn't what the hell he was saying we just followed his lead and it always turned out. Gourds rock!

There is nothing cooler than going to a foreign place and finding a local person so willing to show you all of the tricks of the land.

They might call that a gourd but what's your pulling at the first of the video is certainly not a gourd or member of the curcurbit family.

Link there website. if they don't have one, show them on your lap top. I would buy a set of bowls, if just to support them.
