A gourd refers to a number of species and subspecies, many with hard
shells, and some without. Likely one of the earliest domesticated types
of plants, subspecies of the bottle gourd have been discovered in archaeological sites dating from as early as 13,000 BC. Gourds have had numerous uses
throughout history, including as tools, musical instruments, objects of
art, film and food. Used largely for decoration today they are not usually eaten.
