About Ampalaya
Ampalaya, also known as bitter melon, is a nutrient-packed vegetable originating from Asia and widely used in traditional cuisines, especially Filipino, Indian, and Chinese dishes. True to its name, it has a distinct bitter flavor that sets it apart from other vegetables. Ampalaya is rich in vitamins A, C, and B, as well as essential minerals like iron and potassium. It also contains powerful antioxidants and compounds believed to support blood sugar regulation, making it popular among those managing diabetes. With its low-calorie and high-fiber profile, ampalaya promotes healthy digestion and weight management. While its bitterness may deter some, that characteristic ties to its nutritional potency. However, individuals with certain medical conditions should consult their doctor, as excessive consumption may interact with medications or lower blood sugar levels too drastically. Ampalaya is truly a versatile and healthful addition to your diet when consumed in moderation.
