The bottom line
Ash gourd is a low calorie fruit that’s rich in water, fiber, and other beneficial nutrients. It is commonly used in traditional medicine to prevent or treat various ailments and makes for a versatile addition to many dishes.
Ash gourd is also believed to promote digestion, reduce inflammation, and protect against infection, ulcers, and type 2 diabetes. However, none of these benefits are currently backed by strong science.
That said, there’s no harm in giving this exotic fruit a try, even if it’s simply to add variety to your diet or give your dishes an interesting twist.
