Answer 5

Karela or bitter gourd. Used in Indian cooking. There is a similar thing from China and other parts of Asia that looks a little smoother and is often called bitter melon.

They really are bitter, it takes a little getting used to. My wife is from India and we cook it sometimes. I like it, but I didn't like it the first time I tasted it.

Some people say there are good for controlling cholesterol, blood sugar, and they may have some other medicinal values. I'm not sure if that's true; it's just some things I heard about.
