Organic Bittergourd (250g) Australia

Bittergourd, or bitter melon, is widely used in Asian and African cuisines. Its distinct, bumpy skin and bitter flavour make it an acquired taste, but it’s highly valued for its versatility in savoury dishes such as stir-fries, curries and soups.

Bittergourd is rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and minerals like potassium, promoting immune health and supporting blood sugar regulation. It is also known for its detoxifying properties, and aid in liver and digestive health.

Barry’s tips: Slice bittergourd thinly and sauté with onions, garlic, and spices for a flavour-packed stir-fry. Alternatively, stuff it with spiced meat or grains, then steam or cook in curry for a traditional dish that highlights its unique flavour.
