I'm @jebanikajeba, From Bangladesh. Today, I am sharing with you about the way I cultivate and the nutrition of Bitter gourds. I have a beautiful vegetable garden, but I still grow many varieties of vegetables on the roof. One of the various vegetables planted on my rooftop is the bitter gourd.

Although many people do not like the bitter taste of bitter gourd, it has many nutritional properties. One day, my father brought bitter gourds from the market, and among them was a ripe bitter gourd. I feel more comfortable growing and eating vegetables than buying them from the market because the fun of growing and eating vegetables with one's own hands is different.

As I don't have a bitter gourd plant in my house, I make seedlings from the ripe bitter gourd seeds and plant them on the roof of my house. Bitter gourd grows very quickly in fairly dry climates and any soil. For more yield of bitter gourds, I planted the tree in such a place on the roof that the tree gets sun all day long, so it didn't take much time for my bitter gourd tree to grow. Mashallah, now the tree has grown many bitter gourds.

Various items can be cooked with bitter gourd, like fried bitter gourd, bitter gourd potato chachadi, bitter gourd shrimp, bitter gourd dal, bitter gourd bharta, bitter gourd jhol with any fish, etc. Many people also eat raw, bitter gourd juice.

Bitter gourd has so many medicinal properties. Bitter gourd improves breathing and relieves cough and asthma problems. Consuming bitter gourd juice on an empty stomach in the morning keeps blood sugar under control, haemoglobin is produced in the body, and glucose levels in the body are under control. Bitter gourd is a perfect medicine for diabetic patient's. Bitter gourd juice burns fat in the body and helps reduce fat and weight very quickly. Bitter gourd is very effective in increasing the liver function, increasing the beauty of our skin and hair, releasing toxins from the body, reducing the risk of cancer, solving the problem of piles, etc.

Even if something is more effective, it is never a good idea to overdose on it. Especially for pregnant women, it is better not to eat large amounts of bitter gourd.
