Bitter melon (Momordica charantia) is best known for the light bitter flavour it imparts to savoury dishes in traditional tropical cuisine. Also known as Karela, this vegetable is closely related to the cucumber. The bitter bite of Karela cleanses and clears excess Kapha, stimulates digestion, and supports Pitta and Vata wellness.

Q. What is Karela?
A. Karela is a type of vegetable that is also known as bitter melon. It has a unique taste that some people describe as bitter, hence the name "bitter melon." The plant is grown in different parts of the world, including Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean, and is commonly used in cooking.
Ayurveda believes that karela has certain health benefits, including helping to manage blood sugar levels. So, even though it may not taste the best, it can still be a healthy and important part of our diets.
Q. Should I buy Karela Powder or capsules?
A. Karela powder is just dried and ground up bitter gourd, which you can use to make tea or add to smoothies and other drinks. Capsules are a convenient way to take Karela if you don't like the taste of bitter gourd. They contain the same active ingredients as the powder, just in a smaller, more concentrated form.
