The first in Ukraine specialized site for the cultivation of loofah - "vegetable sponge" was entered into the National Register of Records.
”We put this record in the Science and Technology category. Because the production technology has also been developed here, which allows you to get products from family farming,” said Lana Vetrova, head of the National Register of Records.
As noted, the Zhdanov family grows loofah and produces natural washcloths from its fruits - they cleanse the skin well, improve blood circulation. And also kitchen sponges, which after use, unlike synthetic ones, do not harm the environment.
According to Lana Vetrova, the value of this record is precisely in its economic orientation. Loofah is grown by farmers on an area of 0.28 hectares, and this was also recorded by representatives of the National Register of Records.
Tatiana and Vladimir Zhdanov constantly participate in environmental projects and campaigns.
