Bitter Gourd (Karela)
Bitter gourd is a superfood loaded with nutrients and healing benefits that include lowering bad cholesterol levels, blood glucose levels and inflammation. Known for it’s bitterness this vegetable is a bit of an an acquired taste - but cooked right it tantalizing the taste buds. I myself, did not start eating it until recently. With all it's health benefits and slightly bitter-tangy taste, it's become a staple in my home.
