Description
Bitter gourd seeds are the seeds of the bitter gourd plant, scientifically known as Momordica charantia. Bitter gourd, also called bitter melon, is a tropical vegetable known for its distinctive bitter taste and unique appearance. The seeds are medium-sized, oval-shaped, and typically light brown or tan in color. Bitter gourd seeds are used for growing bitter gourd plants in home gardens and commercial farms. They can be sown directly in the ground or started indoors and later transplanted when the weather is warm. Bitter gourd plants require warm temperatures, full sun, and well-drained soil to thrive. The mature bitter gourd fruits are harvested when they are green and still firm. Bitter gourd is often used in various cuisines, particularly in Asian and Indian dishes, and is known for its potential health benefits. Bitter gourd seeds are readily available and allow gardeners and farmers to cultivate their own fresh bitter gourd crops.
