About Pointed gourd
Pointed gourd, also known as parwal or patol, is a nutrient-rich vegetable commonly found in South Asian cuisines, particularly in India, Bangladesh, and Nepal. This green, elongated gourd belongs to the cucurbit family and is celebrated for its subtle flavor and versatility in curries, stir-fries, and soups. Packed with dietary fiber, pointed gourd supports healthy digestion and can be a great addition for those managing weight or blood sugar levels. It provides essential vitamins A and C, which contribute to immune function, skin health, and eye health. Additionally, it is a good source of antioxidants and has low amounts of fat and calories. However, as it is typically cooked with oil or spices, its nutritional profile can vary based on preparation methods. Simple, healthier cooking techniques can better preserve its beneficial properties, making it an excellent choice for balanced meals.
