बारिश में उगने वाली इस देसी सब्जी को पहचानते हैं? फाइबर के साथ हैं कई पोषक तत्व

Kakora Benefits: During the rainy season, when greenery starts growing around the fields and forests, many such local vegetables also start appearing, which very few people know about in the cities. Kakora is one of those seasonal vegetables. In rural areas it is also called Kakoda or Kantola. This small fruit growing on the vine is eaten as a vegetable during the rainy season. In many places it is prepared by cooking it with potatoes.

Kakore has its own special place in traditional food. Many nutrients including fiber are found in it. However, it would not be right to see it as a treatment for diabetes or any hair related problem. It is more appropriate to consider it as a part of a balanced diet.

Coriander grows on vines
Kakora appears on the vines during the rainy season. Its vine often spreads with the support of bushes and other plants. In rural areas, people pick it during the season and bring it home and after cleaning it, make vegetables from it. The taste of Kakore is slightly different. In many homes it is cooked with potatoes, onions and spices. Its vegetable prepared in local style is eaten with roti. This is the reason why in areas where it is easily available, its demand increases during the rainy season.

Kakora and traditional food
Kakora i.e. Momordica dioica is also called spiny gourd or spiny gourd in English. This is a plant of pumpkin family. Studies on its traditional use and nutritional possibilities are found in the scientific material related to it. One study examined the diabetes-related effects of pumpkin seed extract on rats, but such results cannot be directly applied to humans. Therefore, eating cucumber as a normal seasonal vegetable and considering it as a medicine for any disease are two different things.

Fiber can be beneficial for digestion
Many nutrients including fiber are found in cucumber. Fiber rich food is generally considered useful for the digestive system. Including different types of vegetables in the daily diet increases the diversity of fiber and other nutrients in the food. However, just eating Kakora is not a guarantee that constipation or any digestive problem will be cured. A better way is to make it a part of a balanced diet with pulses, grains, other vegetables and adequate water.

Can we eat it even if we have diabetes?
Kakore is traditionally said to have benefits related to blood sugar. Glucose-related effects have been observed in some laboratory and animal studies conducted on pumpkin seeds, but it is important to understand one important thing here. Bitter gourd and bitter gourd are not the same vegetable. Much research has been done on bitter gourd (Momordica charantia) in the context of diabetes, yet there is not enough evidence based on human studies to consider it as a diabetes medicine option. Therefore, a person with diabetes can eat pumpkin as a vegetable, but medicine or doctor’s advice should not be stopped or changed because of this.

How useful is Kakora for hair?
Calling Kakore a vegetable that prevents hair fall would be a bit much of a claim. The nutrients present in it can definitely be a part of a balanced diet, but there is no solid human evidence that eating pumpkin alone prevents hair fall. Hair fall can occur due to many reasons. If the problem persists then it is important to find out its cause instead of relying on just one vegetable.
