(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.

The wood was light but when I anchored them into the wall and they were very sturdy. Looked very cute on the wall. Affordable and easy to install if you’re handy.

Great besides the finish
Color: Wooden, Size: Medium
These are great. Only thing I wish it would’ve mentioned is they aren’t finished and can give you splinters unlike other shelves. But otherwise, they work for what they needed for, looks great, and easy to assemble for the price. They seem sturdy, but I don’t have much weight on it. Just something to keep from the kiddo

Small shelves, great value
Color: Wooden, Size: Medium
These shelves were great for an area out of the way, would not be perfect for everyone. Super sturdy and easy to install however the wood seems untreated and still a bit rough. The brackets don’t blend well and seem a bit out of place but these small and light shelves have been great at holding small items. I might not trust them with anything too heavy but they have held anything I tried. Only complaint is that they are a bit on the small side as far as depth goes. Other than that, they are awesome. If the brackets looked more sleek and the wood was stained it would be perfect for anywhere.
