So I bought these bitter melons (or it’s also called Karela)from the frozen section thought it was okra. I made chicken stew with it looks very nice right?! Then I had my first bite 😰 sooooo bitter. I looked up it’s health benefits sure impressed!!! “Packs Several Important Nutrients. Bitter melon is a great source of several key nutrients. ...
Can Help Reduce Blood Sugar. ...
May Have Cancer-Fighting Properties. ...
Could Decrease Cholesterol Levels. ...
May Aid Weight Loss. ... “
That last one made me chuckle... With that taste in my mouth All I want was drinking water lol
But it got me thinking... I have a friend she is from the Philippines. She said she fed her kids that bitter melon since they were babies, so they are very use to the taste. Hmmmm....So the babies growing up with the sweets in the mouth cannot handle the bitterness...It just like life we are so spoiled with what we have think all we enjoy is normal. We cannot handle what’s hard to swallow and hard to handle... while others growing up facing the hardship and build up their toughness during childhood. So when they have that “ candy” in their mouth they really learn to appreciate the sweetness.
