About CHUXAY GARDEN Momordica Charantia Seed 25 Seeds
Bitter melon (Momordica charantia) is also commonly referred to as bitter gourd, karela, or balsam pear. As a fruit, bitter melon is low in calories and carbs and high in beneficial fiber. If you're familiar with the use of bitter melon in folk medicine, you may be wondering whether or not modern-day research supports its ancient health claims. Here's the latest on this bumpy, green fruit. Most of the calories in bitter melon come from carbohydrates. Since the total calorie content is so low, bitter melon carbs are also low. A cup of cooked bitter melon provides just over 5 grams of carbohydrate, about half of which is fiber (2.5 grams). Bitter melon also contains some naturally occurring sugar but is overall a low glycemic fruit.
