Bitter Gourd (Karela)

Bitter today, glowing tomorrow.

Contains charantin and polypeptide-p — compounds studied for their blood-sugar-regulating effects.

Karela is the vegetable your body secretly loves but your tongue takes time to agree with. Ayurveda has championed it for centuries, and modern research is catching up fast — particularly around blood sugar regulation. Ours are firm, deep green, and the right kind of bitter. Stuff it, slice it into crackers, or ferment it into a pickle. One bite in, you'll understand why your mother was right about most things.
