Ash gourd is low in calories, fat, carbs, and protein. Yet, it’s rich in fiber and antioxidants that are believed to promote your health and help protect your body from disease. Ash gourd is also known as winter melon or white pumpkin.
Ash gourd’s low calorie, low carb, high water, and high fiber contents provide a nutrient combination that may promote digestive health and help you maintain a healthy weight. Ash gourd is also believed to promote digestion, reduce inflammation, and protect against infection, ulcers, and type 2 diabetes. Ash gourd is a versatile addition to soups, stews, and salads. It can also be baked, fried, candied, or used to make ketchup, jam, juices, smoothies, and desserts. (Source: Healthline)
