Bitter Gourd Juice

You know how healthy is bitter gourd for diabetic people. It is one of the best food which reduces sugar level in blood. I try to include bitter gourd in our diet atleast once a week. Mostly i cook them, i make them into pitlai, fry or curries. I have never thought of making a raw juice out of it, since it is very very bitter. But recently i came across this recipe and really liked it. So i decided to try it immediately for my MIL who is a diabetic patient.

This juice has apple, ginger, lemon juice and a green chilli in it. It also has a touch of salt added into it which actually reduces the bitter level and makes it more appetizing. I added a green apple, the tartness of that apple paired beautifully with the bittergourd. You can use normal red apples as well.

I regularly take raw bitter melon
Rather than go through all the steps given, I scoop out the seeds, chop it into small pieces, add salt as required and a small piece of ginger chopped fine. Add a small cup of water and microwave for three minutes.
Enjoy.
A small piece of dried narthangai oorugai added before microwaving adds flavor and taste

If you want to lose weight, then you better drink bitter melon juice. This is a vegetable which can also be made into smoothies and juices. Bitter melon will help to reduce the incidence of insulin resistance and diabetes.

I make bitter melon juice , by adding apple/ pears, Dallim, Tomatoes, ginger, lemon, cucumber, radish/ carrots. i mix all these together and make a tasty juice. The fruits could change depending on what i have, it could be apple, pears, guava, fruits that are considered to be good for diabetes. I don't soak and squeeze out the bitterness for the Kerala. I add all these things along with some Himalayan salt/ black salt, a few pepper corns and very little bit of honey. Juice them in the mixie and strain it and. It tastes absolutely delicious, with no trace of bitterness. I also most of the times add yellow pumpkin, as it is very good for health.
You can also add a tsp of turmeric to the drink.

from an Ayurvedic point of view, if you really want to take this as medicine, you should include the juice and not throw it away. that bitter taste is what the diabetic needs.
