About Bottle gourd
Bottle gourd, also known as lauki or calabash, is a versatile vegetable popular in South Asian, Middle Eastern, and African cuisines. Native to tropical regions, it boasts a mild flavor and light green skin with a spongy, white flesh. This nutritious vegetable is low in calories and rich in dietary fiber, making it an excellent choice for digestion and weight management. Packed with essential nutrients like vitamin C, potassium, and magnesium, bottle gourd supports heart health and helps maintain hydration due to its high water content. Traditionally, it’s used in soups, stews, stir-fries, and desserts. Its antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties contribute to overall wellness, though overconsumption should be avoided due to its potential bitterness containing harmful compounds. With its refreshing taste and numerous health benefits, bottle gourd is a staple in wholesome, balanced diets.
