About Hairy gourd
Hairy gourd, also known as fuzzy melon or moqua, is a nutritious vegetable native to East and Southeast Asia, widely used in Chinese and Vietnamese cuisines. It has a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a tender texture that makes it ideal for stir-fries, soups, and stews. Rich in dietary fiber, hairy gourd supports healthy digestion, while its low calorie and fat content make it a great choice for weight management. It is also a source of vitamins A and C, which contribute to immune health and skin vitality, as well as minerals like potassium for balanced electrolytes. Hairy gourd is hydrating due to its high water content, which can help maintain overall hydration. Typically low in sodium, it fits well into heart-healthy diets. When prepared without excess oil or salt, hairy gourd can be an excellent addition to a balanced, nutritious meal.
