Korolla (bitter melon) is a bitter, nutritious fruit used in cooking for its health benefits and distinct flavor.
Korolla, also known as bitter melon or bitter gourd, is a tropical fruit commonly used as a vegetable in many Asian cuisines. Its distinct green, bumpy exterior and unique bitter taste make it a standout in various dishes. Despite its strong bitterness, Korolla is highly valued for its medicinal properties.
