Do Bitter Melons grow in your country?

I had to look for a picture of them. I didn't know they existed. I have never seen them in Mexico... perhaps in some Asian restaurant.

Angelica,

Thanks for the corrections. I thought it grows in Mexico and in South American countries. I'm able to grow it here in zone 6 ( U. S. Climate zone). It's definitely not for everyone because it lives up to its name, bitter melon or amargoso.

Esta es muy amargo. pongo muchas de sal para neutralizar el sabor amargo cuando cocino esta. Usted quiene que aquirir el gusto por ella cuando eran muy jóvenes a gustar.

It is very bitter. I put lots of salt to neutralize the bitter taste when I cook it. You had to have acquired the taste for it when you were very young to like it. I don't know that anyone can learn to like it once older.

Thank you for the picture, I didn't know anything about that fruit.

Really I guess you can make them in fruit juice.

Good food.

Casi todas la ciudades grandes de EEUU y Canadá tienen poblaciones asiáticas grandes y allí se puede conseguir bitter melon, litchis, rambutan, lotus root, water chestnuts, el hediondo durian y otras frutas y verduras «exóticas». Hay restuarantes que preparen amargosos en Nueva York.

I never thought of amargosos in a fruit drink, you mean, to put it in a food blender/mixer and liquify it? It may be drinkable if lots of sugar and milk and or cream is added to it. Amargosos are supposed to have anti-cancer properties.Very creative thought, Crotalito

Really that is specially for the treating of the cancer.
Mm

I haven't idea about it.

Sorry.

I thought that the fruit was very ordinary as all the fruits known.

Amargosos no es frutas ordinarias. Debe probar el sabor cuando tengas un oportunidad. (You should taste it if you have a chance.

[CrOtALiTo]

I will.

Don't worry.
Really today I asked about that fruit in many stores and well they just don't know the fruit, then I have to go to a Walmart on Villahermosa.

When I have chance to go there.

Crotalito, no vas a encontrarlos en Walmart. Si hay un barrio chino o un pueblo poblado por muchos chinos tendrás más éxito encontrarlo allí. Sé que DF tiene una población asiática y un barrio pequeño cerca del zócalo. Si acaso pasas por allí tal vel lo encuentras. Es muy amargo. Lo compré una vez y no pude comerlo.

Crotalito,

I agree with what Poli said, you may waste money buying it, even if it's available in the store because you will not be able to eat it because it is bitter even after cooking.

[CrOtALiTo]

Ok.

Really I'm living in Campeche, then I'm very fair of México around of 1,300 KM from the capital state until Ciudad del Carmen.

Then I don't believe go to México soon.

And well if you are telling me that I can't eat that for that it's very bitter then, I don't believe that like me much.


Thank you for your information.
