The term 'Ash Gourd' comes from the powdery coating on this vegetable. Ash gourds are round to oblong in shape and have a dark green to the pale grey external skin. They have a faint cucumber flavor and are gentle to chew.
Out of all Indian vegetables, the ash gourd is found to be the greatest treasure of flavonoids and carotenes. This dual punch of antioxidants in this veggie is believed to protect the human body against all sorts of cell damage, alongside balancing out diabetes and heart diseases.
The excessive consumption of ash gourd can turn out to be harmful as it may result in toxic levels of the metallic elements getting accumulated in the body. Especially people with severe fever or high fluctuating body temperatures should avoid consuming it.
