TO ALL DIETERS:

MAM CHUNG (REDUCED SODIUM, REDUCED CHOLESTEROL) WOULD BE ANOTHER OPTION, FOR STUFFING BITTER MELON, CUT INTO TWO INCH SECTIONS, FOR A CAHN CHUA SOUP VARIATION. I LIKE BITTER WATERCRESS ADDED TO IT ALSO. THE BITTERNESS REMINDS ME TO EAT LESS SWEET FOODS. SOMETIMES MY TASTEBUDS NEED TO CRAVE BITTER GREENS AND MORE SOUR FOODS.

***A FRESH, GREEN, GRANNY SMITH APPLE, PLUM, AND MANGO, ALL SLIGHTLY UNRIPE, CAN BE EATEN BEFORE DINNERTIME IN A NUOC CHAM SAUCE WITH STEVIA SWEETENER.***
