Bitter Gourds are packed with several nutrients beneficial for the body and regular consumption into the diet adds lots of health benefits. It is particularly high in vitamin C, a crucial micronutrient involved in bone development, illness prevention, and wound healing. It also contains significant amounts of vitamin A, a fat-soluble vitamin that supports healthy skin and good vision. It offers modest levels of potassium, zinc, and iron as well as folate, which is crucial for growth and development.

Strong antioxidant chemicals that can help shield human cells from damage include catechin, gallic acid, epicatechin, and chlorogenic acid, all of which are abundant in bitter gourds. Additionally, a single one-cup (94-gram) meal provides about 8% of your daily requirements for fibre while still being low in calories. They help reduce blood sugar and cholesterol levels and also contain cancer-fighting properties. As they are high in fibre and low in calories, therefore they aid in weight loss and could be included in the diet chart.
