From the bitter taste is its medicinal value—the presence of the substance called momorcidin.
Ampalaya contains a mixture of flavanoids and alkaloids which makes the pancreas produce insulin which controls the blood sugar in diabetics.
It is used in India for the treatment of diabetes and to treat respiratory diseases, ulcer, skin diseases, gout, and wounds. According to a study, juice of bitter gourd lowered the blood glucose levels.
Bitter gourd 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.
