About Bottlegourd
Bottlegourd, also known as calabash or lauki, is a nutritious and versatile vegetable commonly used in Indian, Middle Eastern, and African cuisines. It is light green with a smooth skin and soft, spongy flesh. This low-calorie vegetable is rich in water content, making it hydrating and easy to digest. Bottlegourd is a good source of dietary fiber, vitamins C and B, and essential minerals like potassium and calcium. It supports digestive health, helps regulate blood pressure, and is often included in weight management diets. Its alkaline nature can aid in balancing acidity in the body. However, it should be consumed cooked and handled carefully, as certain types may contain compounds that can be toxic if raw or overly bitter. Bottlegourd is a versatile ingredient in soups, curries, and sweet preparations, celebrated for both its gentle flavor and health benefits.
