Fun fact: 

Hechima is a Japanese vegetable resembling a big cucumber and comes from the pumpkin family. When cooked, hechima becomes soft, like eggplant. Many mainland Japanese do not like eating it; instead, they dry it to make bath sponges - the popular Loofah sponges, which can also be used for scrubbing pots and pans as a great sustainable alternative to synthetic sponges.
