Description

Bitter Melon is long and slender, similar to the shape of a standard cucumber with a rough, warty edible skin. The Bitter Melon has an off-white, translucent, crisp, and bitter flesh and bears flat white bitter seeds. The fruit is harvested, young, when still green. As the fruit matures, the skin turns bright orange and the flesh increases in bitterness. Ripe fruits are saved for their seeds and replanted. The Bitter Melon is considered the most bitter of all fruits. Its bitterness can be tempered by soaking the fruit or cooking it.

Chemical Composition

It mainly contains 5,25-stigmasterol-3-glucoside and momordoside.
