Bitter melon has been valued for millennia for both its culinary and medicinal qualities. Soaking, blanching, or salting reduces the melon’s bitterness and it is often stuffed with meat, used in curries, or added to stir-fries. Recent studies show that it helps regulate blood glucose levels, and it is high in antioxidants such as vitamin C, carotenoids, flavonoids, and polyphenols.
