I really wonder its taste :)
We had bitter gourd for lunch or dinner regularly during our stay in India. The taste was quite tough! There was one way they prepared it for us, I think deep fried - which was super tasty and I really could eat that every day. Probably great for taste but not for health benefits though ;)
Awesome info!!! Ive always seen these at the grocery store but never knew what they where. Going to try juicing some soon :)
Very good!🙌👍
