About Upo
Upo, also known as bottle gourd or calabash, is a versatile vegetable widely used in Asian cuisines, particularly Filipino dishes like ginisang upo or tinola. This long, green gourd thrives in tropical climates and offers a mild, delicate flavor. Rich in water content, Upo is low in calories and an excellent choice for hydration and weight management. It contains dietary fiber, which supports digestion, as well as vitamins C and B for immune and energy benefits. Additionally, it is a source of minerals like potassium, promoting heart health and balanced blood pressure. Upo is free of saturated fats, making it heart-friendly, yet its low protein content means it is best paired with nutrient-rich foods in balanced meals. Known for its soothing properties, Upo is often recommended for its cooling effects on the body, making it a refreshing dietary inclusion in warmer climates or seasons.
