Description

Cocconia, commonly known as Tendli in India, is a tropical vegetable that you will find in many Indian dishes. They are elongated and slender in shape and typically measure 5cm in length with a smooth outer surface that has occasional fine bumps or ridged surfaces. They have a light green to dark green in color based on the maturity levels. The flesh is pale green in color; crisp, and tender in texture.

Tendli is slightly tangy, mild, and sweet in flavor. It is frequently used in curries, stir-fries, pickles, side dishes, stews, and soups, among others. They can be used as fritters, stuffed, or with rich dishes such as biryani and pilaf.

Health Benefits

Antioxidant Properties

Coccinia or Tendli contains beta-carotene which are antioxidants that neutralize free radicals, harmful free-floating molecules, that are on a rampage to destroy immune cells and weaken the immune system. The antioxidants reduce the risk of chronic diseases as well.

Better Digestive Health:

The dietary fiber found in tendli is good for your gut. It prevents constipation as the fiber binds with the stools adding the bulk.

Better Heart Health:

Potassium is a crucial mineral that has the function of maintaining fluid balance, muscle contractions, and nerve functions among others. It also helps remove excess sodium from the body which would otherwise lead to high blood pressure. It works by relaxing blood vessels leading to easier flow of blood in the vessels.
