Karela or Bitter Gourd, Bitter Melon has many health benefits. The main being regulate the blood sugar and hence it is very good for diabetic patients.
These are few sites that give good information about bitter gourd and home remedies using them.
- Shilpa's - Aayi's Recipe - Home Remedies - Bitter Gourd
- Ayurvedic Cure
- Bitter Melon - Wikipedia
Ingredients - Makes 1 small glass
1 Karela Big
salt to taste
lime/lemon juice as per taste
Method
- Wash the Karela.
- Remove the seeds.
- Cut into small pieces.
- Puree it in a blender or is you have juicer you can use that. If using blender you can add little water. About 1/4 cup will do.
- If pureed using a blender, pass it through a sieve.
- Add salt and Lime/Lemon juice to the collected juice.
- Serve.
Note: This is really bitter, but the benefits are in this bitter part. I just had drop of it and could not have more my whole food pipe is reacting to it and I can feel the bitter taste all the way down. But if you have Diabeties there is no better home remedy and have it like a tonic.

Wow what a color it came out. In our childhood we use to make khuskhus rasna drink. this is the same color. BUT BEWARE before drinking it :)))))))) it will be verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry bitter in taste.. BUT yes very good for health.
What a green color! My mom drinks this juice, I am not sure i can drink fresh the bittergourd jui even though i love BG :)
I love karela, but karela juice? Will have to think about that :) You make it look quite pretty, Medhaa.
as Vaishali said, you made it look so pretty Medhaa! Beautiful color. But Karela juice is not my kind of juice due the bitter taste even though it is healthy. If some sugar is added may be ok to taste quarter of that glass, he he!
Wow, this looks cool... wonderful colour!

Bitter melon is one of the best
vegetable-fruit that helps improve
diabetic and toxemia conditions. It is rich in iron, contains twice the beta-carotene of broccoli, twice the calcium of spinach, and twice the potassium of a banana.My own Maa + Mamaji use to take it early morning regularly. I knew a little from mamaji and ofcourse, Mayu:-)
sure the juice is bitter but refreshing and assures one of good health.
