Bitter melon, also known as bitter gourd or Momordica charantia, is a tropical vine that is related to zucchini, squash, pumpkin, and cucumber and belongs to the gourd family. It's grown all over the world for its edible fruit, which is a common ingredient in Asian cuisine. Long, pale green, and covered in wart-like bumps, the Chinese variety is the most common. The Indian variety, on the other hand, is narrower and has pointed ends with rough, jagged spikes on the rind. Bitter melon has been linked to a number of impressive health benefits, in addition to its sharp flavour and distinct appearance.
