Karela, also known as bitter gourd, is a nutrient-dense vegetable prized in Asian cuisines for its distinctive bitter flavor and impressive health benefits. Rich in vitamins C and A, fiber, and antioxidants, karela supports digestive health and blood sugar management. Its tender flesh works beautifully in stir-fries, curries, and traditional preparations. Select firm specimens with unblemished skin for the best quality and flavor. Store in a cool place and use within a few days for optimal freshness and nutritional value.
