Bitter Melon, Snake Gourd, or Asian Yard Long Beans.

Is bitter melon bitter? How does it taste? I don't think I've tried it.

Thanks.

Yes, the name is directly derived from it's flavor. It is also excellent for diabetes because it helps maintain blood sugar levels naturally. I find that I crave it a few times a year.
