June 9, 201313 yr Looking for "nam ma-ra" - bitter gourd juice, also known as Karela Juice. It's a health drink. Understand it's not easy to make yourself, so I am trying the juice bars, supermarkets, fresh veggie markets, etc. It's sold in cans in Japan and India. Tried Dada Kafe, Rimping, etc. - no luck so far.
June 9, 201313 yr Would not be that hard to make juice. Just peel it and run it thru a juicer. if you don't own a juicer can probably just take some to a juice bar and have them extract for you. The catch is its super bitter so makes sense to mix it with a sugar or something to cut the taste. Even when cooked it's sooooo bitter so a little bit goes a long way. supposed to have an anti diabetic property where it lower blood glucose.
