Health and Nutritional Benefits

Karela has been valued in traditional Indian medicine (Ayurveda) for centuries due to its incredible medicinal properties.

Top Health Advantages of Karela:

1. Blood Sugar Management: Bitter Gourd is often considered “natural insulin” for people managing diabetes, as it contains compounds that help regulate blood sugar levels and improve glucose uptake.
2. Aids Weight Loss: Being low in calories and high in fiber, it promotes satiety, helping to reduce overall calorie intake and support weight management goals.
3. Boosts Digestive Health: The fiber content encourages healthy bowel movements and helps maintain a robust digestive system.
4. Skin and Hair: Its blood-purifying properties help in clearing skin issues like acne and blemishes, leading to a clearer, healthier complexion.

Culinary Tips

To reduce the bitterness, simply peel the gourd, slice it, rub it generously with salt, and leave it for about 30 minutes. Rinse thoroughly before cooking.
