Lauki is the best vegetable I think. It is completely harm less. Lauki is the only vegetable which don't have its own taste and you can make whatever you want with lauki.


Lauki has high fibre content and if you make juice you will be deprive of goodness of fibre so its better use whole lauki as a vegetable.


Make lauki with garlic and curd it will be very testy and beneficial for high blood pressure.

lauki has properties that are valued in traditional healing. The cooked vegetable is cooling, calming (or sedative), diuretic and easy to digest. It’s excellent for light, low-cal diets, as well as for small children, people with digestive problems, diabetics and convalescents. Lauki is rich in iron (any vegetable that turns brownish after being cut has iron) and also has vitamins C and B complex





A glass of raw lauki juice with a pinch of salt is an excellent drink in summer. It will quench your thirst, fight fatigue and make up for the loss of sodium. Since the juice is alkaline, it is also an effective remedy for urinary infections (to counter the high acid levels in the urine that causes a burning sensation).
