Focus on the Surrealist Vegetable

Karela.

Hello Focus Magazine!

Many recent studies say the karela, or bitter melon, may help to cure many diseases, including diabetes and HIV. I don't really deal with that here though.

Entry into the BBC Focus magazine video competition. There's stuff about the death of the sun in the March issue which will cheer you up about the future no end.

You can find in any asian market and it's very healthy. People use it all over INDIA in their recipes in diffrent forms. I do not like it but I know it's very healthy and very bitter. My mom finds creative ways to introduce this vegetable. If you use it regularly you will never have Diabetes or atleast you will be able to control it.

Yes it seems that it is very effective in treating things like diabetes and auto-immune diseases.

[Eliseharris]

Mostly from a magical land of wonder called Peckham!

Elise I think your on to something with vegetable videos you might want to think about expanding them into a whole cookery program!. You have the whole upper class totty look and mannerisms down to a tee the classical music fits perfectly and your ridiculous vegetable facts give us a glimpse of where your comedic talent is coming from. I for one would love to see you on TV doing this stuff its easily the most enjoyable stuff you do and I think it will be the making of you

Thanks very much! I am well behind on my Youtube catching up so I have just seen this comment.

if you don't cook this correctly it is hard to  eat it without gagging. You Brits have such non sun damaged complexions.Many 'Goris' here in Oz are BBQ'd by the sun !!
