You might not like the taste of it, but you can never ignore its nutritional benefits. Bitter gourd is a package of precious nutrients such as Vitamin B1, B2, and B3, C, magnesium, folate, zinc, phosphorus, manganese, and dietary fiber. It has a unique insulin-like compound called polypeptide-P, which makes it an excellent remedy for diabetes. It is also effective in treating blood disorders, cholera, and a host of other ailments. However, chances are high that the bitter gourd that you eat have been treated with chemical fertilizers and pesticides, making it harmful for your body in the long run. That?s why, we advise you to grow your own bitter gourd at home. You can easily grow them in your terrace or backyard garden. All you need is to facilitate for the growth of the climbers. Planting Guide: Bitter gourd requires a warm climate for optimum yield. In hilly areas, the best time to sow bitter gourd seeds is during the early days of summer. You can sow these bitter gourd seeds in your terrace garden or backyard garden. If you?re sowing in a pot or planter box, sow them at a depth of 1/2 ? and provide a spacing of 12? between plants and 12? between rows. The seeds germinate quickly, usually within 5 to 10 days. The harvesting should be done when the fruits are young and tender. Disclaimer 1. Germination depends on suitable climate, suitable temperature, preparation of soil. We have no control over those. 2. Product color and shape can slightly vary than image shown.
