Bitter Melon Against Diabetes


And I thought bitter melon (or bitter gourdlinks) is a local Filipino veggie?! Apparently, it is a traditional Chinese vegetable that is beneficial against diabetes.

Now in a groundbreaking partnership between East and West, Australia and China are analysing the reputed therapeutic effects of a traditional Chinese vegetable - the bitter melon.

Using high-end technology, researchers have been able to unlock its secrets and in the process may have found the basis for a new drug for type 2 diabetes.

At least once a week Sharman Wong prepares a traditional Chinese dish using the vegetable bitter melon.

The recipe comes from her grandmother, who also recommended a concoction of bitter melon juice to combat ailments.


Do you like eating bitter melon? I love to eat bitter melon stir-fried with tomatoes and scrambled eggs. Yummy!
