About Boiled ridge gourd
Boiled Ridge Gourd, also known as turai or luffa in various cuisines, is a nutrient-rich vegetable commonly used in Asian and Indian dishes. Native to tropical regions, ridge gourd is a low-calorie vegetable that's rich in dietary fiber, making it beneficial for digestion. It also offers a good amount of vitamins A and C, which support skin health and immunity, along with essential minerals like potassium and magnesium for heart and muscle function. Boiling ridge gourd enhances its soft texture while maintaining its subtle, earthy flavor. This cooking method preserves most of its nutrients without adding extra calories. Its high water content helps with hydration and can support weight management. However, pairing it with high-fat or heavily salted ingredients may reduce its overall health benefits. With its mild taste and versatile nature, boiled ridge gourd is an excellent addition to a balanced diet.
