Note: Bitter melon is known for its intense bitterness, which is much stronger than lemon. It is also praised for its potential health benefits, including detoxifying properties and promoting overall well-being. If you are new to bitter melon, start with a smaller amount and gradually increase it as you get accustomed to its taste. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new health regimen, especially if you have existing health conditions.
