Additional Tips

To mellow the bitterness, soak sliced bitter gourd in salted water for 15-20 minutes before juicing, then rinse thoroughly—this reduces sharpness without stripping away beneficial properties.
Add a small piece of fresh ginger or a few mint leaves to the blender for a subtle zing and additional digestive benefits without overpowering the karela’s flavor.
For a smoother texture, strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth after blending—this also makes the drink more palatable if you’re new to karela juice.
If you’re making the juice ahead, store it in a glass container in the refrigerator and consume within 8 hours to preserve nutrients and freshness; stir well before drinking as natural separation may occur.
