Bottle Gourd (Lauki) 1Kg (Shipping on Wednesday)

Bottle gourd, also known as lauki, is a popular vegetable used in South Asian cuisine. This elongated, cylindrical fruit has a characteristic bottle-like shape, and its interior is spongy and delicate. Bottle gourd contains as much as 90% water, which makes it a very easily digestible and absorbable product. Its flesh can be prepared in a variety of ways - sliced, boiled, stewed or fried. Bottle gourd is a source of many valuable nutrients, such as vitamins C, K and B, as well as minerals such as potassium, magnesium and iron. It is also a low-calorie vegetable, which makes it an excellent choice for people who care about a healthy and balanced diet. Lauki can be used in many dishes, such as curry, stewed vegetables or rice dishes, adding juiciness and lightness. Its mild, yet characteristic taste goes well with the intense flavors typical of Indian, Pakistani or Bangladeshi cuisine.
