Code : P11281

Ash gourd, scientifically known as Benincasa hispida, is a versatile, low-calorie, and high-water-content fruit also called winter melon, white pumpkin, or wax gourd. This large, oval-shaped, pale green melon is a staple in South and Southeast Asian cuisine and traditional medicine, particularly in Ayurveda. It is known for its cooling properties, mild flavor, and medicinal benefits, including aiding in weight management, improving digestion, and providing detoxification, though it is best known for its use in sweet dishes like petha in India.
