About Parwal
Parwal, also known as pointed gourd, is a green vegetable commonly used in Indian and Southeast Asian cuisines. Its mild, slightly earthy flavor makes it a versatile ingredient in curries, stir-fries, and soups. Rich in essential nutrients, parwal is a low-calorie vegetable packed with dietary fiber, which promotes healthy digestion. It is also a good source of vitamins A, C, and several B vitamins, supporting immunity, skin health, and energy production. Additionally, it contains important minerals like magnesium and potassium, which are beneficial for heart health and maintaining electrolyte balance. Parwal is low in fat and has minimal natural sugar, making it a great choice for weight management and diabetic-friendly meals. While it is generally healthy, preparation methods that involve excessive oil or deep frying can reduce its nutritional value. Fresh and lightly cooked parwal is ideal for enjoying its health benefits to the fullest.
