About Turai
Turai, commonly known as ridge gourd, is a versatile vegetable popular in Indian and Southeast Asian cuisines. Known for its elongated, ridged appearance, Turai boasts a mild flavor that adapts well to curries, stir-fries, and soups. It is low in calories and rich in dietary fiber, making it an excellent aid for digestion and weight management. Packed with vitamins A, C, and B6, as well as essential minerals like potassium and magnesium, Turai helps support immune health, skin vitality, and heart function. Additionally, its natural diuretic properties may promote kidney health. Turai contains negligible amounts of fat and sodium, making it heart-friendly when prepared with minimal oil and salt. However, overusing rich or oily sauces in recipes may offset its health benefits. Simple and nutrient-dense, Turai is a wholesome addition to a balanced diet.
