Ivy Gourd, also known as Coccinia grandis or Kundru, is a tropical vine-grown vegetable popular in South Asian, Southeast Asian, and African cuisines. Native to India, this small, elongated green fruit, resembling a miniature cucumber, boasts a mildly sweet and crunchy texture. Rich in nutrients, Ivy Gourd is an excellent source of dietary fiber, vitamins A and C, and antioxidants, making it valuable for boosting immunity, aiding digestion, and promoting eye health. It also contains essential minerals like potassium, which supports heart health, and iron, contributing to improved energy levels. Low in calories and fat, Ivy Gourd aligns with weight management diets, but should be consumed in moderation due to its natural starch content. Typically stir-fried, steamed, or added to curries, it is a versatile and healthy ingredient that complements a balanced diet.
