Padavalam (Snake Guard) India, 250 g - 350 g (1 Pc)

Indian Padavalam (Snake Gourd) is a long, slender vegetable easily recognized by its striking grey-green skin often marked with white stripes. Sourced from fertile Indian farms, this gourd is a cooling and hydrating favorite, particularly in South Indian cuisine, where it is valued for its mild flavor and light, easy-to-digest nature.

This 1 piece selection, weighing between 250g and 350g, features a crisp exterior and a soft, fibrous center with tender seeds. When cooked, the Padavalam softens beautifully and absorbs the flavors of tempered spices and coconut. It is the star of the traditional Padavalam Parippu Curry (lentil stew) or the crunchy Padavalam Thoran (stir-fry with coconut). Low in calories and high in water content, it’s a perfect addition to a balanced, refreshing meal.
