Free Shipping
Decor Outdoor offers free regular shipping on all orders shipped to residential or commercial addresses within the contiguous United States. Orders are delivered Monday through Friday (excluding holidays).Drop Shipping
We are an online-only luxury furniture and lighting boutique, and do not have a warehouse. Consequently, all orders are drop shipped directly from our manufacturers to your door. If your order includes items from more than one manufacturer, you will receive multiple deliveries. Because we are dependent on the on-hand inventory of our manufacturing partners, some items listed on our site may not actually be available right away. Please call us at 888.784.4644 or via our contact form with any stocking questions and we'll get in touch with the appropriate manufacturer for answers, before you place your order.Ground Shipping
Small parcel items ship regular ground via delivery services such as FedEx, UPS or DHL. Orders typically take 2-3 business days to process and in-stock items will usually be delivered 3-5 days from the date that they ship (depending on origin and destination). If there is a delay, you will be notified by email. No signature is required for standard ground shipping, so you may want to make arrangements to have packages brought inside soon after delivery, if you are unable to receive it in person.Description
Bitter gourd, also known as bitter melon or *Momordica charantia*, is a unique vegetable renowned for its distinctive bitter taste and remarkable health benefits. This tropical vine, native to Asia, produces a green, warty fruit that can be eaten raw or cooked. Its bitterness is due to the presence of compounds like momordicin and charantin, which contribute to its medicinal properties.
Bitter gourd is celebrated for its high nutritional value. It is an excellent source of vitamins A and C, folate, and dietary fiber. These nutrients support overall health by boosting the immune system, enhancing digestion, and promoting healthy skin. Additionally, bitter gourd is known for its potential benefits in managing blood sugar levels, making it a valuable addition to the diet of individuals with diabetes. Its compounds may help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood glucose levels.
In cooking, bitter gourd is versatile and can be prepared in various ways. It is often stir-fried, added to curries, or used in soups. Despite its strong flavor, many people appreciate its unique taste and its ability to balance richer, sweeter ingredients in a dish. For those who find the bitterness overwhelming, soaking the sliced vegetable in saltwater or blanching it can help reduce its intensity.
Overall, bitter gourd is not only a nutritious and health-promoting vegetable but also a flavorful ingredient that adds complexity to a range of dishes.
