India Hybrid Biter Gourd

India Hybrid Bitter Gourd from True Leaf Market Seeds:

"40-55 Days to Maturity (after transplanting). Momordica charantia ’India’. India Bitter Gourd Seeds. Non-GMO, warm-season, annual, hybrid. The India-type bitter melon has dark green skin; this hybrid's 6-8 inch fruits are heavily warted. The spindle-shaped melons taper at both ends and are generally narrower than a Chinese-type bitter melon. Growers prefer this variety for its early maturity and long-lasting, generous yield. Bitter gourds are packed with nutrients and are recommended as a healthy food by the American Diabetic Association. The young fruits and the immature shoots and leaves are edible."

This plant requires extra time, effort and space to grow, so it is offered in the 1 plant per 4-inch pot size.
