Parwal, also known as pointed gourd, is a vegetable in the gourd family. These figures describe raw parwal with the ends trimmed. It provides small amounts of carbohydrate and protein, along with vitamin C and potassium. Per 100g, it contains 2.1g of carbohydrate, 1.6g of protein, 18mg of vitamin C and 230mg of potassium.
Vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Potassium contributes to normal muscle and nerve function. Raw parwal contains only trace amounts of fat and saturated fat, and little salt. Cooking or adding other ingredients can change its nutritional composition.
