Almost all purchasing requirements can be answered by one word: E-Bay. You can find in this popular website bitter melon seeds for sale, and all other sorts of seeds.
There is good reason to begin scouring the Internet for bitter melon seeds if you wish to grow the vine in your own garden. Bitter melon is one of the most nutritious and medicinally beneficial vegetables in the world.
Bitter melon (also known as balsam pear, bitter gourd, karela or wild cucumber) deserves its name. It is the most bitter vegetable there is, although it is not a melon. This cucurbit vine is a relative of the cucumber, which is why they are shaped a lot like each other. Yet, nothing comes close to comparing the bitter taste of the bitter melon.
Bitter gourd is rich in zinc, phosphorous, and potassium to name a few. These minerals alone can spare you from all sorts of ailments such as colds, flu, bone problems, hypertension, anxiety and kidney problems. It also contains Vitamins B1, B2, B3 and C, and is believed to treat diabetes, hypertension, liver problems, and breast cancer. Why bother buying zinc extract, phosphorous extract, and potassium extract separately when you can buy bitter melon supplements?
“Where can I buy bitter melon seeds?”
Bitter melon seeds, fruits, leaves, extracts, and supplements are available online or from Asian produce markets and specialty markets. If you wish to know where to buy bitter melon seeds exactly in your location, look through your local directory or ads.
The first step to planting your bitter melon seeds is to remove their outer coating. You can do this easily by first soaking the seeds and allowing them to swell. Plant the seeds in moist loam soil about 2 cm deep and 1.5 meters apart. Build an arc-shaped fence for the vines to climb on.
Bitter melon vines grow all over the place but the ones that creep upward are the only ones that matter. They are the bearers of the bitter melon fruit. You can cut off the side-winding vines so that all the nutrients go to the melons.
Expect to see bitter melons hanging by their stalks after a month if you’ve grown them correctly. They thrive in warm temperature, about 24 to 27°C. Growing in a greenhouse is most effective.
When growing bitter melons, caterpillars, insects and aphids are not a problem because they seem to avoid the bitter-tasting vine.
As you make your first harvest, keep in mind that everything in the vine is edible and nutritious. The roots, shoots and leaves are herbal greens that are good for soups and teas. The leaves are also delectable when pickled.
Avoid eating bitter gourd seeds despite the fact they may be eaten. They taste so awfully bitter that they can lead to vomiting and nausea. Make sure to remove all the seeds before cooking your first bitter melon dish. The seeds are good for your next planting so that you won’t bother looking for more bitter melon seeds for sale.
