Indian Bittergourd Seeds (Karela)
Classic Indian bittergourd variety. Fruits are 4-6” long, skin is deeply ridged and flavor is very bitter. Plants are vigorous and produce dozens and dozens of fruit through the growing season. Plant is vining and can grow up to 6-7 feet long with multiple off shoots. Vines can either be trellised or left to sprawl on the ground. Leaves, flowers and fruit are edible and highly medicinal. Flowers have a strong scent of Jasmine!
We like to cut up the fruit and soak them in salt water for an hour before cooking to reduce some of the bitterness. The fruits are considered a potent medicine in Ayurveda, believed to help lower blood sugar levels and treat liver diseases, to name a few.
Our seeds are directly from India and we have been stewarding them on our land for the last 2 years.
10 seeds per packet.
