Paria
from Asian Shop
I
visited the Asian shop in my city yesterday. I found several “paria,”
“peria” or “pariah in language of South East Asian countries.
It is refer to a bitter gourd, a bitter melon or a green gem in
English. Some people categorized it as fruit, other said vegetable. I
myself prefer to call the vegetable.
The
size is not that long, around 12 cm, and weight is less than 1 pound.
The color is green, but change to yellow when ripe. The price is
quite reasonable in America, US$ 0.99 per-pound. Since I bought three
pieces, I paid for US$ 2.71 only.
Length
of 3 “paria” in a plate
I
read from several literatures, the vegetable is easy to grow in hot
and humid areas. Thus, it is possible to grow “paria” during summer in
American southern. After sowing the seed, we could harvest “paria”
in 60 days. Quite short period.
Eating
cooked or boiled “paria” could improve our appetite. It also has
good nutritional values, some of them are: dietary fiber, protein,
variety of minerals and vitamins. Many people in Japan, Korea and
China used “paria” to cure several diseases.
Have
you seen a “paria” in the market in your country or anywhere
else?
...I've never eaten this, but have seen it on a blog from Malaysia.

I have seen this fruit/vegetable in our Asian produce markets but have never tried it yet. I did read that it is very good for health so will probably give it a try sometime. Have a great Sunday!

They look a bit like bitter melon. Does it taste bitter?

I agree with Angie above, it looks like bitter melon. Asian vegetables are commonly available these days and we eat a variety of them frequently.
