Part Used: Dried fruit of Momordica charantia, finely milled
Description: Bitter Melon Powder is produced from the dried fruits of Momordica charantia, a tropical vine native to Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean. The fruits are harvested when fully mature, carefully cleaned to remove natural debris, and dried to maintain their natural green colour and textured surface. Once dried, the fruits are finely milled into a smooth, uniform powder that preserves the natural colour and texture of the fruit.
Momordica charantia produces elongated, warty fruits with a fibrous interior. When processed into powder, the fruit retains its natural structure and subtle green hue. The finely milled form ensures easy blending into dry mixtures, botanical formulations, and creative craft applications.
Fresh fruits are washed, dried using controlled warm-air or low-temperature methods to reduce moisture, and milled under controlled conditions to achieve a consistent, fine texture. No additives, fillers, or processing agents are used, resulting in a pure plant-based ingredient composed solely of dried fruit.
Uses: Bitter Melon Powder is used in botanical craft blends, powdered decorative mixtures, resin art, potpourri-style preparations, and educational herb kits. Its smooth texture, natural green colour, and uniform consistency make it suitable for creative projects where a fine plant-based powder is desired.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
