Bitter melon, bitter melon is extremely rich in nutrients and has the effect of clearing internal heat and detoxifying. Bitter melon is also a very effective weight-loss vegetable that can help women lose weight and slim down quickly, expel toxins, and maintain a healthy, light figure, but there is just one thing: it is very bitter, so many people do not really like to eat it. However, some people say that the more bitter the bitter melon, the better. How should we choose it? First look at the color: fresh bitter melon is emerald green; if the color has turned yellow, that means it is old, so you should not buy it.

Then look at whether the bitter melon is uniform and straight, and do not choose curved ones either. Then look at the patterns. Among the bitter melons on the market, one type has long, straight, thick patterns, with few or inconspicuous small bumps; this kind of bitter melon tastes relatively mild, has thick flesh, high water content, and a crisp texture. On the contrary, if the surface patterns of the bitter melon are small and fine, and there are a large number of small bumps distributed on it, the taste will be more bitter, but the water content is lower and the texture is soft and mealy.

If the seeds inside a cut bitter melon turn red, that means the bitter melon is also old, and eating it this way is not tasty either. However, it can still be used to make soup, so it should not be wasted. But bitter melon is cold in nature, so friends with weak and cold spleen and stomach are not advised to eat it. Alright, the method has been taught to you, so you can go and try it next time.
