Nutritional Information
Karela powder is typically made from dried bitter gourd, a vegetable generally known to contain fiber and a range of vitamins and minerals. Its flavor is sharply bitter, so small quantities are usually enough. This is a food ingredient, not a supplement, so check the Nutrition Facts panel and the ingredient list on the package for exact values and allergen details.
