Bitter Gourd

Bitter gourd (Momordica charantia), or karela, is a nutrient-dense, tropical vine-grown vegetable known for its warty exterior, intensely bitter taste, and significant medicinal properties. Rich in vitamins A and C, fiber, and iron, it is widely used to manage blood sugar, aid digestion, and support immune health. It is commonly cooked in stir-fries, stuffed, or juiced.
