Besides the usual bitter gourd and okra, there are six SUPER vegetables that
get missed out completely but should be part of your weekly plan.
1. Ivy Gourd (Kundru) - Works as "insulin mimetic," helps muscles
uptake glucose faster. My favorite - steam them with turmeric and coconut.
2. Cluster Beans (Guar) - High soluble fiber creates protective intestinal
lining, prevents excess carb absorption. Immediate PP sugar benefits.
3. Pointed Gourd (Parwal) - I feel sad this doesn't get attention! Cooked with
onions, it's my personal favorite. Animal studies show it works exactly like
Metformin.
4. Snake Gourd (Chichinda) - Love it dry with besan. Rich in triterpenes and
flavonoids that reduce sugars throughout the body.
5. Drumsticks (Moringa pods) - Everyone talks about moringa leaves, but the
pods! Steam them, add salt and lemon. Rich in isothiocyanates that boost
insulin secretion.
6. Ridge Gourd - Make chutney with the ridges like my mom does - sesame seeds and
light tadka. High fiber, light on digestion.
Include these six in your weekly routine. Try it for a month and see what
happens to your sugar levels.
