LAUKIi / DUDHI / BOTTLE GUARD.

When you buy Louki from the vegetable market, it is better if you can taste a piece of the same. If it is bitter, never buy it. it is not good for health. I use louki at least two times a week, not only to prepare dishes out of it, but also sometimes to drink the juice, but care is taken to see that it is not bitter to taste.

in the same way when you buy Ridge guard, please taste a piece of it If it is bitter, do not buy it. It is not good.

I dint understand something here, “Cooked lauki is cooling” now what is cooling? I hear this “cooling” everyday, but I am not able to pull anything on this from the net. Can food actually “cool” you or “heat” you up?
They say sesame oil bath is “cooling” but sesame seed is “hot”. Papaya is also “hot”
Can any food actually increase of decrease our body temperature?

Dear Sir
I drink Lauki Juice many time in the month of July to September every year, but with the precaution that the Grower of Lauki is not using any chemical fertilizer and pesticide . The result was exlent. So please make sure use the Herbal products if it is chemical Free. The farmer is using only cow dung/ wormy compost, than you are safe.
