Abashi Bitter Melon

Abashi Bitter Melon is a vigorous, heat-loving vine that produces beautifully textured green fruits prized throughout Asian cuisine. Thriving in warm California summers, this productive variety grows quickly on trellises and rewards gardeners with heavy harvests all season long. While bold when raw, the flavor mellows beautifully when cooked, making it a nutritious and savory addition to stir-fries, soups, and traditional dishes.
