<i>Lagenaria siceraria</i> (Molina) Standley, a member of the Cucurbitaceae family, is valued for its medicinal and nutritive properties. The nutrient status of sequentially harvested shoots and fruits at various growth stages in <i>L. siceraria</i> has not been documented to date. This study aimed to compare the nutritional status of <i>L. siceraria</i> landrace shoots and fruits harvested at different maturity stages. Micronutrients, macronutrients, and proximate composition of shoots and frui
