Description
Fresh bitter gourd, also known as bitter melon, is a vibrant green vegetable with a bumpy, textured skin and a distinct, intense bitterness. Often used in Asian, African, and Indian cuisines, it is typically cooked in curries, stir-fries, and soups, where its flavor mellows and blends with spices. Despite its bitter taste, bitter gourd is highly nutritious, rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals, including vitamin C, folate, and iron, and is believed to offer various health benefits, such as aiding digestion and regulating blood sugar levels. Fresh bitter gourd should be firm, with bright green skin, free from soft spots, ensuring its peak freshness and optimal bitterness.
