About Cooked bitter gourd
Cooked bitter gourd, also known as karela, is a nutrient-dense vegetable widely used in Asian cuisines, particularly in Indian, Chinese, and Southeast Asian dishes. It has a distinctive bitter taste that softens when cooked and is often paired with spices, stir-fried, or included in curries. Bitter gourd is rich in vitamins A, C, and several B-complex vitamins, along with minerals like potassium, iron, and magnesium. It’s an excellent source of dietary fiber and contains bioactive compounds such as antioxidants and polypeptide-p, which may help regulate blood sugar levels. This makes it particularly beneficial for individuals managing diabetes or seeking weight control. However, its bitterness can be an acquired taste, and excessive consumption may lead to digestive upset in sensitive individuals. Low in calories and high in healthful nutrients, cooked bitter gourd is a flavorful addition to a balanced diet.
