About Boiled bottle gourd
Boiled bottle gourd, also known as lauki, is a nutrient-rich vegetable commonly used in South Asian cuisine. Low in calories and high in water content, it’s an excellent hydrating food, ideal for maintaining weight and promoting digestion. This mild-flavored gourd is packed with essential vitamins like C and K, minerals such as potassium and zinc, and fiber, which support heart health and regulate blood pressure. It is gentle on the stomach, making it a popular choice for light meals, especially during illnesses or dietary detoxes. Its boiled preparation enhances digestibility while keeping calories minimal. However, bottle gourd should always be consumed properly cooked as raw or bitter variants can be toxic. Ideal for soups, stews, or curries, this versatile vegetable is a staple of wholesome, balanced diets across Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines.
