Bitter Melon (Karela), Certified Organic - 1.7 oz

What is Organic Bitter Melon? Fresh, organic bitter melon (also known as karela or bitter gourd) is almost impossible to find, as it is extremely susceptible to disease and pests. Conventional bitter melon often tests with amounts of pesticide exceeding legal limits. These pesticides are very difficult to remove by washing due to the bumpy, grooved exterior of the karela gourd. This is why we are happy to offer you this organic dried version, which is free of pesticides and shelf-stable. Our organic, dried bitter melon is dried using a dehydrator. It is not sun-dried, which would make it very dark in color. Extremely low heat is used during the entire process. The temperature is kept below 104°F at all times. This ensures that delicate nutrients of the karela are preserved.
