What does LUFFA mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A climbing vine whose fibrous, gourdlike fruit is dried and used as a scrubbing sponge, also known as a loofah.
A luffa plant produces long green fruit that looks like a cucumber while fresh, but once the fruit dries out its fibrous interior separates into the familiar rough, spongy material sold for bathing. Growers cultivate luffa in warm climates for both this dried sponge and, when picked young, as an edible vegetable in some cuisines. The alternate spelling loofah refers to the same plant and the same dried product, and both spellings are widely accepted.
