- Karela - Bitter Ground Rings
Description:Karela is difficult to eat because of its bitter taste unless you have acquired its taste. From Ayurveda’s perspective it’s a very beneficial vegetable for stomach. Ayurveda recommends incorporating all the six tastes (sweet, sour, spicy, bitter, salty and astringent) in every meal. Bitter taste is the hardest to incorporate in a meal and karela helps in that. Karela Rings is a simple dry vegetable, which can be eaten with Dal, Rice and Roti. Since karela is a bitter vegetable, it’s also called bitter gourd.
