What Is Bitter Melon And How Do You Cook It?

The Evolution of the Watermelon

Number One Bitter Melon Seeds - The bitterness of bitter melon (also called balsam pear) is due to quinine, a strong-tasting component that's also used to flavor tonic water! The sharp taste softens as it absorbs other flavors while cooking and has a pleasant cooling effect when eaten in the heat of summer. Bitter melon is considered to have medicinal qualities and is used in Asian medicines. This shorter variety's 6'-8' vine is best grown on a trellis or fence.
