About Bottle guord
Bottle gourd, also known as calabash or lauki, is a nutrient-rich vegetable widely used in Indian, Southeast Asian, Middle Eastern, and African cuisines. This versatile squash is low in calories, making it a popular choice for weight management. It’s packed with essential nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin B, potassium, and iron, and offers hydration benefits due to its high water content. Bottle gourd supports digestion with its fiber content and may aid in reducing acidity and promoting gut health. It is also believed to have cooling properties, making it ideal in summer recipes such as juices, soups, and stews. While the vegetable itself is healthful, methods of preparation can impact its nutritional value—fried or overly salted dishes may diminish its benefits. Always opt for fresh, unblemished gourds for the best flavor and nutrition.
