About Ghiya
Ghiya, also known as bottle gourd or lauki, is a versatile vegetable widely used in South Asian cuisine. Originating from India, it has been a dietary staple for centuries and is celebrated for its mild flavor and high water content. Packed with essential nutrients, ghiya is rich in vitamin C, potassium, and fiber while being low in calories, making it an excellent choice for hydration, digestion, and weight management. Its high antioxidant content supports healthy skin and boosts immunity. Ghiya is particularly popular in curries, soups, and desserts, and its seeds and skin are often utilized for their nutritional benefits. While the vegetable is generally healthy, consumption of excessively bitter bottle gourd should be avoided, as it can cause toxicity. Overall, ghiya’s cooling properties and light texture make it a refreshing addition to a balanced diet.
