White Bitter Gourd (Momordica charantia)

White Bitter Gourd, also known as White Bitter Melon, is a unique and eye-catching twist on the traditional green variety. With its pale, ivory skin and bumpy texture, this striking heirloom adds beauty to the garden—and bold, medicinal flavor to the kitchen.

Despite its milder appearance, white bitter gourd still carries that signature bitterness, though often softer and less intense than its green counterpart. It's prized in Asian and Ayurvedic cuisines for its cooling properties and numerous health benefits, especially for supporting digestion and blood sugar balance.

The vines are vigorous climbers, thriving in warm climates and producing an abundance of slender, creamy-white fruits that are best harvested young for optimal taste and tenderness. Stir-fried, stuffed, or stewed—White Bitter Gourd is a gourmet choice for adventurous gardeners and cooks who celebrate tradition with a twist.
