Description
Fresh ridge gourd, also known as turai or tori, is a light green vegetable with a unique, ridged texture and a mildly bitter, slightly sweet flavor. The flesh is soft and tender when cooked, absorbing spices and flavors beautifully. Ridge gourd is commonly used in Indian and Asian cuisines, where it is added to curries, stews, and stir-fries, or stuffed for added flavor. It is a nutritious vegetable, rich in water content, fiber, and essential vitamins like vitamin C, as well as minerals like potassium and magnesium, making it beneficial for digestion and overall health. Fresh ridge gourd should be firm with a smooth skin, free from blemishes or wrinkles, to ensure its freshness. Its light, mild taste and versatility make it an excellent addition to a variety of dishes, especially when paired with spices and herbs to bring out its natural flavor.
