Bitter melon selection method

1, look at the skin. Bitter melon skin particles the larger and full, clear lines, it means that the more tender melon flesh, thick, slightly less bitter; if the particles are relatively small, dense and irregularly arranged, it means that its melon flesh is relatively thin, bitter flavor is greater.

2, pick shape. If the shape of the bitter melon is like the shape of a grain of rice, the two ends of the pointed, the melon body is relatively straight, it means that the quality of this bitter melon is relatively good.

3, identify the color. Fresh bitter melon color is bright green, if the color is yellow, it shows that the bitter melon has been old, the flesh is not crisp.

4, weigh. Bitter melon single weight in about 500 grams of the best, too light or too heavy are not good.
