Surprise to learn that bitter melon leaves are edible

@fishtiger58 The bittermelon fruit is a bitter tasting vegetable, It's leaves are less bitter. Let's say it is like spinach but more bitter. It works well with sauteed mungbeans with pork or shrimp. If American kids, Hate broccoli, Asian kids hates bittermelon. That fruit though is the reason why people in Okinawa can live up to 100 years or more.

Bitter melon leaves hmmmm wonder how they taste

In fact I don't like eating the bitter melon since they are bitter. I have never liked bitter food. I know it is a healthy vegetable but the taste is still much more important for me so far. As to the bitter melon leaves, we have never eaten them. But it is common for us to eat the sweet potato leaves. It tastes well. My husband said that in the village in the past the farmers fed the pigs with the sweet potato leaves. Now it is changed. We like eating the sweet potato leaves and it is helpful for digestion.

Not on my list of things to try!

bittergourd? oh yes, we eat it here in our country in a vegetable soup. good for the body and yummy also.

Yes it very common to us Filipinos as veggie and as herbal remedy for infant's cough

I'd rather eat carrots, tomatoes, cabbage, ginger and potatoes on daily basis. no need for this thing.
