Kovaikkai is a very healthy vegetable and is good for diabetic people. It is a creep which can grow in fields and also in backyards. Kovaikkai consists of 1.4 mg of Iron which is 17.50% of the daily recommended value. Thiamine found in Ivy gourd also plays an important role in the manufacture of red blood cells, which are used for constant energy. I have already posted Kovaikkai curry with masala powder recipe also.
