PRODUCT INFO
Bitter melons are small to medium gourds, averaging 6 to 30 centimeters in length, and have a long and slender, oblong shape with slightly tapered ends. The gourd's surface will vary depending on the specific type, ranging from deeply creased, smooth, pale green, and ridged to rough, dark green, and heavily textured with warts and bumps. The gourd's skin may also exhibit a waxy layer, and some rarer types of Bitter melon showcase a white hue. Underneath the thin skin, the flesh is crisp, watery, and pale green, encasing a central cavity filled with spongy pith and large, cream-colored seeds. Bitter melons are harvested when they are young and green, containing a sharp, astringent, and vegetal flavor. The gourds are also selected when they display a green coloring with a faint yellow hue, an indication of further maturity, rumored to contain a slightly milder, bitter, and acidic flavor.

Cultivated extensively in India, the bitter gourd, also known as karela, is a unique vegetable prized for its health benefits and culinary versatility. This member of the cucurbit family boasts a warty, ridged exterior in shades of green and white, reaching lengths of up to 2 feet. While immature gourds are tender and less bitter, mature ones offer a firmer texture and more concentrated flavor profile. Traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine, bitter gourd is a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Hailing from the vibrant tapestry of Indian agriculture, the bitter gourd, also known as karela in Hindi, is a unique vegetable prized for its distinctive flavor profile and impressive health benefits. This export-worthy vine boasts a long, slender, and warty exterior, typically ranging from 10 to 30 centimeters in length. While immature bitter gourds possess a smooth, light green skin, mature ones develop a bumpy texture with a darker shade of green, almost tinged with a yellowish hue.
The flesh of the bitter gourd lives up to its name, offering a refreshingly bitter taste that can be quite polarizing for first-time consumers. However, this very bitterness is what makes it a culinary superstar in India. When cooked skillfully, the bitterness mellows, transforming into a delightful complexity that complements a variety of spices and cooking techniques.
Indian farmers cultivate bitter gourd throughout the year, with peak seasons occurring during the cooler months. This ensures a steady supply for both domestic consumption and export. The meticulous harvesting process involves handpicking the gourds at the optimal stage of maturity, ensuring their freshness and vibrant color.
Beyond its intriguing flavor, the bitter gourd is a powerhouse of nutrition. It is an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and K, vital for maintaining healthy vision, immunity, and blood clotting. Additionally, it boasts significant amounts of dietary fiber, promoting gut health and aiding digestion. Furthermore, bitter gourd is a natural source of minerals like iron, potassium, and manganese, contributing to a balanced diet.

General Information - Momordica charantia (MC), a member of the Cucurbitaceae family, is also known as bitter melon, bitter gourd, balsam pear, pare, or karela. It is a widely grown and consumed vegetable in Asia, East Africa, India, and South America. The potential for MC to modulate blood glucose has received the most attention from investigators searching for natural foods or compounds that may be useful in the treatment of diabetes.
Phytochemicals - The main constituents of bitter melon which are responsible for the antidiabetic effects are triterpene, proteid, steroid, alkaloid, inorganic, lipid, and phenolic compounds. Several glycosides have been isolated from the M. charantia stem and fruit and are grouped under the genera of cucurbitane-type triterpenoids. In particular, four triterpenoids have AMP-activated protein kinase activity which is a plausible hypoglycaemic mechanism of M. charantia.
