Plant Insulin?
This warty-looking melon from the Gourd Family (Cucubitaceae) is born from a vine of the tropics and suptropics and has a bitterness that varies depending on the variety. We think it was originally from Africa, and now the Bitter Melon (Momordica charantia) is cultivated widely and traveled the world, especially in Asian countries, the Caribbean and India.
