What is a "gourd"?
A gourd is a type of fruit that typically has a hard outer shell and a fleshy interior. It comes in various shapes, sizes, and colors, ranging from small and round to long and cylindrical. Gourds can be edible or non-edible, and they are often used for decorative purposes, such as making crafts or ornamental items. Some common edible gourds include zucchini, pumpkin, and various types of squash, while non-edible gourds may include decorative varieties like birdhouse gourds or ornamental gourds.
