The Full Bitter Melon Experience! - Growing, Harvesting, and Tasting from My Garden

Today we'll be growing Bitter Melon, also called bitter gourd from seed to harvest, exploring the interesting plants as we go, then harvesting the fruits at different stages before cooking and giving them a taste. We'll also discover the orange stage of these fruits including the red fleshy arils around the seeds. These unique fruits which are also know as Balsam pear, Bitter squash, African cucumber, Ampalaya, Foo gwa, Mara or karavila, are a nutritious and unique vegetable used in many different dishes. They grow on a vine that does well in subtropical and tropical climates, but can also be grown during the Summer season of warm temperate climates. They're fun to grow and make for an interesting surprise in the garden that will provide you with a unique taste experience and nutritious food. I hope you enjoy the journey of growing bitter melons from start to finish with me :) Buy me a coffee to help support my content :) https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thekiwig... Come Say Hi!
