Bitter Melon
Bitter melon, also known as Mormordica charantia, bitter gourd, or wild cucumber, gets its name from its characteristic taste. The riper they get, the bitter they become, making them one of the least favorites in this list.
However, taste profile aside, the vegetable has been proven to have almost magical health benefits, as observed in people who live in areas where they grow in abundance, such as Asia, South America, the Caribbean, and East Africa.
Bitter melon contains many nutrients that have been found to lower blood sugar, making it a perfect companion to other treatments for diabetes.
