Best of the best!
This winter melon is only half the size of the one I bought last time, I'm not satisfied.
It was huge! I only remembered to take a picture after I ate it. It was very fresh, and the soup with dried shrimp was delicious.
This is my first time buying this small winter melon. I'll leave a review after I've eaten it. It looks pretty good.
It always looks a little rusty from the outside, but the inside seems okay.
Green-skinned winter melon can be used in soups or stir-fries; it's quite good.
Fresh & Large melon. Great value for money.
Not looking as good as before, but the soup taste delicious.
This little winter melon is so cute! It's my first time buying one! You can use it in pork rib soup or stir-fry it with dried shrimp!

Not bad .fresh
It seems a bit overfrozen; hopefully, it won't affect the taste. It's a very large piece of winter melon, definitely cheaper than in a physical store.
A huge piece of winter melon. I just bought it last week and finished it; it was delicious, so another one was delivered today.
The pork rib soup is delicious, with generous portions and fresh ingredients.
Half a large winter melon, looks good.
Big portion haha.
The winter melon was very fresh, so I made winter melon, kelp, and meatball soup, and also added some dried scallops. It was so delicious it made my eyebrows fall off!
It looks pretty good. I haven't started eating it yet. I'll try it when it's cooked.
Very fresh, discounted items that I always repurchase
It's very large, even exceeding the advertised weight, and is definitely worth the price.

What does ash gourd taste like?
Ash gourd has a very mild, slightly sweet, fresh flavor, similar to a cucumber or zucchini when cooked. Its neutral taste absorbs the flavor of the broth, pork, ham or spices it is cooked with.
How do I choose and store ash gourd?
Choose a heavy gourd with a firm, unbroken skin. A whole ash gourd keeps for weeks in a cool, dry place; wrap cut pieces and refrigerate them, using them within a few days.
What is ash gourd used for in Indian cooking?
Ash gourd is used in South Indian kootu (with lentils and coconut), in sambar, and in juice and sweets such as petha, which is made from ash gourd. In Chinese cooking it is mainly used in soups and braises.
Is ash gourd the same as winter melon?
Yes. Ash gourd and winter melon are two names for Benincasa hispida, also called wax gourd or white gourd. Indian grocery labels often say ash gourd, while Chinese and Southeast Asian ones say winter melon.
How do I cook ash gourd?
Peel the green skin, remove the seeds and spongy center, cut the flesh into chunks, and simmer it in soup, braise it, or stir-fry it. It turns soft and translucent in about 15 to 25 minutes.
What can I substitute for ash gourd?
Chayote, zucchini or fuzzy gourd work as substitutes in soups and braises, though they cook faster. For Chinese winter melon soup, Weee! also carries Hotpot Sliced Winter Melon, which is ready to add to the pot.
