I'm thinking those "lufa" are for eating rather than sponging.---I've heard the ones that are for eating aren't really ripe enough to make sponges from, usually you'd get those at the end of the season.

those lufa are for comsuptions; they are young, tender and delicously sweet as soups and saute.
