Bitter Melon – Kho Qua Dong Lanh 500gr

Description

Bitter melon is a small green cucumber species with wrinkled skin and a typical bitter taste. Before cooking, it should normally be rubbed with salt and allowed to stand for an hour to reduce bitterness, after which the salt is then rinsed. Bitter melon is a nutrient-rich vegetable. It controls the blood sugar level. The skin is edible, but the spongy interior and seeds must be removed. When it is ripe, it becomes bitter, the skin becomes yellower and the seeds turn red. It is difficult to find a replacement for its distinct taste.
