Winter Melon
Winter Melon is a mild-flavored gourd used widely in East and South Asian cuisines for soups, stews, stir-fries and even sweet desserts; it’s sometimes called ash gourd, winter gourd or dong gua. It is very low in energy at 13kcal per 100g and is largely water, making it a hydrating, low-calorie ingredient that gently soaks up flavors. Nutritionally it contributes a little fiber and vitamin C and contains minimal fat and protein, so it’s best used to bulk dishes without adding many calories. Overall, Winter Melon is a light, versatile vegetable that supports low-energy cooking and adds volume and texture while providing modest micronutrient benefits.
