Gongura is a very rich source of iron, vitamins (especially Vitamin C), folic acid and anti-oxidants.
Gongura pacchadi (chutney or relish) is quintessentially Telugu
In the Bodo Tribe of Assam too, 'Gongura' called as 'Mwitha' is used frequently. The Bodos believe that intake of sour helps in fighting the scorching summer heat and prevents illness.
It is also grown in Tripura, Arunachal Pradesh (north east region of India) and also some parts of triabl Chittagong Hill Tracts region in Bangladesh. It is a very popular green vegetable in Chakma community and it is known as "Aamelli". Similarly, Gongura is popular in Tamil Nadu as well, and is called pulichakeerai (புளிச்சைக் கீரை) in Tamil. It is popular in North and Central Karnataka cuisines as "Pundi Palle/Punde soppu (ಪುಂಡಿ ಪಲ್ಲೆ/ಪುಂಡೆ ಸೊಪ್ಪು)", and is regularly eaten with Jollad (Jowar-Sorghum) flat breads. The famous combination with pulichakeerai is Ragi Kali/Ragi Mudde, which once used to be a regular food for the people in villages (since these items are easily available).
In Marathi, it is called Ambaadi (अंबाडी). And is specially prepared to a stew and served to goddess Mahalakshmi/Gauri
