About Bottle guard
Bottle gourd, also known as calabash or lauki, is a versatile vine-grown vegetable originating from India and widely used in South Asian, Southeast Asian, and African cuisines. It has a pale green, smooth outer skin and white spongy flesh with a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Known for its high water content and low calorie profile, it is rich in essential nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin B6, potassium, and fiber, making it excellent for hydration, digestion, and heart health. Bottle gourd is popular in soups, curries, and stir-fries, and is often juiced for its cooling and detoxifying properties. However, the seeds and bitter flesh may contain compounds harmful to health if consumed in excess, so caution is recommended. This humble vegetable is a staple in wholesome, traditional diets and supports overall wellness with its nutritionally dense yet light composition.
