Unlike silicone and glass gourds, pumpkin gourds, just like wooden gourds, require a previous curing process before being used

This process begins even before the container is made, since it is necessary to subject the fruit to a drying process to later extract the pulp and give it the required shape and design

To cure the mate, you must smear the mate with vegetable oil or butter, thus sealing the pores of the fruit, avoiding cracks and excessive transfer of flavor and textures.
