One more question: how do you save the seeds to grow gourds of your own?


Don't throw them away?

Seriously. Provided that you don't actually let the gourd rot, you
can take them out or leave them in, clean them or not, or whatever.
They are adapted for passing through a mammal's gut intact, and are
very tough. They will keep for a few years in a cool, dry place.

Naturally, cooking a gourd and THEN saving the seeds is likely to be
ineffective :-)
