H&C Karela/Bitter Gourd Powder (Momordica charantia) 227g / 0.5 Lb | for Healthy Blood Sugar Levels | Metabolic Wellness

My mom always had karela growing in her garden. This dried powder version is not bad. I prefer the fresh karela. Using a fresh green karela, gut and discard the inside (seeds etc) chop into small pieces, sprinkle a tablespoon of salt, and leave overnight, this method removes some of the natural bitterness from the karela. Rinse the salted karela a couple of times. Fry in a couple of tablespoons of oil, add chopped onion, garlic, add 500g of mince beef, near the end of cooking add chopped tomatoes. You may not need to add salt to this dish. Serve with rice, pitta bread or chapati.

I initially bought the smaller packet and found that it successfully brought down my blood sugar level. Just half a heaped teaspoon a day mixed in water. Taste was not too bad, but to be honest I just gulped it down and drank a little more plain water afterwards. It was so useful that I subsequently bought the 1kg pack.
