Stir Fry Bitter Melon Recipe

Bitter melon also known as bitter gourd  is a unique vegetable that is not known for its bitter taste, but also for its medicinal health benefits.  Bitter melon is is very low in calories, carrying just 17 calories per 100 g. Also bitter melon is known for its ability to manage diabetes, it contains phyto-nutrient, polypeptide-P, a plant insulin known to lower blood sugar levels.

Despite its amazing health benefits, not all of us like the bitter taste of this amazing vegetable. Cooking bitter melon can be easy and when cooked right, it can be very delicious. Some
presoaked the bitter melon in water to or squeeze the juice to lessen  the bitterness, but that would lessen the nutrients that you get. I prefer not to soak or squeeze the juice to avoid losing the nutrients that our body need.
