About Angled gourd

Angled gourd, also known as ridge gourd or luffa, is a versatile vegetable native to South and Southeast Asia, commonly featured in Indian, Thai, and Chinese cuisines. This slender, ridged gourd is low in calories and packed with essential nutrients like vitamins C, A, and B6, along with dietary fiber and potassium. Its high water content helps with hydration, while its fiber supports digestive health and regularity. Known for its mildly sweet flavor and tender texture, angled gourd is often cooked in curries, stir-fries, or broths, and can even be juiced for detox purposes. Its antioxidants contribute to immune health and skin vitality. However, its nutritional benefits may diminish if cooked with excessive oil or rich sauces. A staple in healthy diets, angled gourd offers a flavorful way to boost nutrient intake while supporting overall wellbeing.
