Futo Spindle Bitter Melon is a bumpy or warty-skinned variety of bitter gourd (Momordica charantia),  often called Indian Bitter Melon. The bumpy varieties have a stronger flavor when compared to the smooth types. Bitter melon is often stir-fried, stuffed, pickled, or used in soups and herbal teas for its nutritional benefits. This heat-loving vining plant thrives in full sun, well-drained soil, and warm temperatures, producing vigorous climbing vines that benefit from trellising. Regular harvesting while fruits are young and tender ensures the best flavor and continued production. With its high yield, fast growth, and culinary versatility, Futo Spindle Bitter Melon is an excellent addition to any summer garden!
