(Momordica charantia); aka Bitter Melon, Cerasee; Minimum 20 seeds

Belonging to a distinctly different botanical group than the commonly grown members of the squash family, Ampalaya increases your garden's resilience to the challenges Mother Nature might send your way. Typically grown for the immature fruits, the young leaves and leafy vine tips are edible and nutritious, often used in teas.

As the name implies, fruits are bitter but parboiling the fruits for 3-4 minutes before adding to a recipe reduces the bitterness. Another way to reduce bitterness is to slice the fruits thinly and soak them in salted water for an hour - drain, rinse and stir fry!

Fruits mature from green through yellow to a brilliant orange. A neat feature of Ampalaya is the vibrantly red sweet gel that encapsulates each seed. DO NOT EAT THE SEEDS - they are considered poisonous. What is Mother Nature's purpose for the gel? It is believed that the gel attracts native wildlife to eat the seeds as a means of natural dispersal throughout its tropical home.

Despite its tropical lineage, Ampalaya vines produce well for us in southeast Michigan.

Solid Kids Sandals, Overpriced Like Most Kids Shoes 🌞
Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Brown, Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Brown
My son hasn’t worn these yet since it’s December in Indiana and sandals + snow obviously don’t mix. 😂 So this review is based on first impressions rather than long term wear. That said, these seem wider than a lot of typical kids’ sandals, which I REALLY appreciate since we tend to have wider feet in our family. #hobbitfeet The quality feels pretty decent overall. They’re described as lightweight, and while they’re not insanely lightweight, they do have enough weight to feel semi-sturdy and not flimsy or cheap. I like the style and color, and I think they’ll work well for my son once warmer weather hits. My main complaint is the price. At just under $24 at the time of this review, it feels a little high for kids’ sandals and for what these are. I really feel like $20 MAX would make more sense. Kids shoes are almost always priced like adult shoes, even though they clearly use less material, and that’s hard for me to understand and wrap my mind around. Overall, these seem solid for daily wear, I just wish the price was a bit more reasonable and affordable.
