About Lauki
Lauki, also known as bottle gourd, is a versatile vegetable commonly used in South Asian, Middle Eastern, and African cuisines. Native to Africa, it is now widely grown in tropical and subtropical regions. Lauki has a mild, slightly sweet flavor and is typically cooked in curries, soups, or stews, as well as incorporated into desserts. Packed with nutrients, it is low in calories and high in water content, making it a hydrating and weight-friendly food. It is a good source of vitamin C, vitamin B complexes, and essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Additionally, its high fiber content supports digestive health. Lauki is low in fat and cholesterol, benefiting heart health. However, raw or bitter lauki should be avoided, as it may contain toxic compounds that can be harmful. Always ensure lauki is fresh, tender, and cooked properly for optimal health benefits.
