"Bottle Gourd," "Long Calabash Melon," or "Lauki / Loki," "Dhudhi," "Kaddu," or "Opo" Squash is an annual climbing vine that is popular in Eastern continents and is widely regarded as one of the healthiest vegetables in the world. Low in calories, packed with dietary fiber, it can promote weight loss, lower blood cholesterol, and lower blood pressure. It is also high in choline, a neurotransmitter that improves brain function and improves stress and depression. The gourd can grow over a meter long, depending on the length of harvest, and is harvested young when skin is smooth and light green and the inner flesh is white.
