Karela Seeds (Open-Pollinated Bitter Gourd Seeds)

Grow fresh, healthy bitter gourds at home with our premium Karela Seeds (Open-Pollinated Seeds), perfect for kitchen gardens, terrace farming, and organic home growing across India. Karela is widely known by different names such as Bitter Gourd, Bitter Melon, Karela Sabji, Karla (Maharashtra), Pavakkai (South India), and Momordica charantia. An essential Indian vegetable with deep traditional and medicinal value, Karela is loved for its strong flavour, nutritional richness, and impressive health benefits.

Open-pollinated Karela seeds are highly valued by home gardeners because they offer true-to-type plants, meaning the harvest closely matches the parent variety. These seeds produce vigorous climbing vines with uniform-sized fruits, darker ridges, and consistent bitterness—a quality preferred in Indian kitchens. Bitter gourd thrives in warm weather, ample sunlight, and well-drained soil. Once sown, seeds germinate in 7–12 days, and fruiting begins in 60–75 days, depending on care and climate. Trellising or providing upward support helps increase yield, enhance fruit shape, and reduce pest issues.

Karela is known globally for its strong nutritional profile. The fruits are rich in vitamin C, fibre, potassium, iron, natural antioxidants, and plant compounds that help support blood sugar control, digestion, and overall wellness. In India, bitter gourd is used to prepare karela sabzi, stuffed karela, bitter gourd chips, curries, juices, stir-fries, and herbal remedies. Growing it at home ensures a chemical-free, fresh supply that tastes richer and offers far better nutritional value than store-bought produce.

Our Karela Open-Pollinated Seeds are selected for high germination, strong disease tolerance, and continuous fruiting. These seeds perform exceptionally well in grow bags, pots, raised beds, or open soil. Regular harvesting encourages more fruit formation, allowing a steady supply throughout the season. The plant’s vigorous growth and resilience make it ideal even for first-time gardeners.

If you want a nutritious, fast-growing, and highly productive vegetable for your home garden, Karela is an excellent choice.
