Karela also known as bitter gourd, bitter melon or Momordica charantia, is a tropical fruit-like gourd said to offer a variety of benefits. Bitter melon may be consumed as a food, as a juice known as karela juice, or as a tea. Bitter melon is a member of the squash family, Cucurbitaceae. Bitter Melon is especially rich in Vitamin C and Vitamin A which has effective health benefits. The bitter taste that is prevalent in bitter melon helps to clear excess kapha and stimulate the digestive fires without aggravating pitta or vata and other many health benefits.
