This week we’re talking about breeding a cool summer loving version of bitter melon (Momordica charantia), a popular vegetable in non-western cuisine that has great health benefits. Bitter Melon is my favourite vegetable, and I’m doomed to having poor quality frozen versions - hopefully no more if I can pull this project off!

Wishing you lots of luck! I like bitter melon too! Which types of bitter melon will you use to start this project with?
I have 4 types:
- Bangladeshi
- Thai
- F1 hybrid of Bangladeshi and Thai
- A smooth skinned bitter melon land race variety from True Love seeds
I might order more from True Love Seeds next year, as they seem to have their other bitter melons in stock now.
