White Indian Bitter Melons
Estimated Inventory, lb : 0
Description/Taste
White Bitter melon is an oblong shaped fruit with bumpy, warty skin, giving the initial appearance of a malformed white cucumber. Bitter melons do not require peeling. Its flesh bears a spongy seed cavity looking more similar to that of a cucumber than of a melon. The fruit's flesh is pale green to white in color and contains layers of flat white seeds which will turn red as the fruit matures. Bitterness is about the only flavor that the melon delivers. This bitterness is not a uniform bitterness and can range from fruit to fruit. Generally, the younger the fruit, the more bitter. Larger, ripe fruit will be milder in flavor and the flesh will be spongy in texture.
Seasons/Availability
White Indian Bitter Melon is available year-round.
