• Dahon Ng Ampalaya (Bitter Melon Leaves)

Bitter melon leaves are medium in size, averaging 4-12 centimeters wide, and are made up of 3-6 veined lobes with jagged edges. The tender leaves are bright green to light green and are soft and pliable. Bitter melon leaves grow on an herbaceous vine and are attached to the vine with long and thin stems. Bitter melon leaves are a good source of vitamin A and also contain vitamin C and iron.  Bitter melon leaves are best suited for cooked applications such as boiling, stewing, and sautéing. The leaves and the attached tendrils are most commonly served cooked as the heat will slightly lessen the bitterness of the greens. When cooking with other ingredients, be sure to add the Bitter melon leaves last to prevent an overly bitter flavor from taking over the dish. In the Philippines, the leaves are commonly served with rice and mung beans in a dish known as ginisang monggo. Bitter melon leaves can be used in curries, stir-fries, and soups. The leaves can also be used to make tea and beer. Younger leaves, which have a milder flavor and delicate texture can be used in salads. Bitter melon leaves will last for a couple of days when stored fresh in a plastic bag in the refrigerator.
