🍊 WAIT… WHY IS OUR BITTER MELON ORANGE?! 👀

You know bitter melon as green, bumpy and VERY bitter…

But have you ever seen one ORANGE? 😳🍊

Yes — it’s still edible!
These bitter melons have been left to mature longer on the plant, and as they ripen, the skin can change from green → yellow → bright orange.

🌱 So why don’t we usually see orange bitter melon at the market?
Because most bitter melon is harvested while still green — when it’s firmer, easier to transport, has a longer shelf life, and is the familiar colour shoppers expect.

🍊 What about the orange ones?
They’re softer and more mature, with a different texture and flavour. They’re less bitter, with a gentle hint of sweetness. The inside may also have bright red seeds as the fruit matures.

💡 What can you do with them?
Try something different:
• Slice and cook with eggs 🥚
• Add to a stir-fry
• Stuff and bake
• Pickle them
• Or use the mature fruit to save the seeds for growing 🌱

👀 NOW WE WANT TO KNOW…

Would you get an orange bitter melon if you saw one at the farm stand?

🟢 GREEN = 👍
🟠 ORANGE = ❤️
🤔 “I need to try it first!”

Fresh from our field with love — Perilla (Shiso) 🌿

So fragrant, so refreshing, and so kind to your body — rich in vitamins, calcium, iron and antioxidants. Gentle on digestion and lovely for soothing.

We’re in that in-between season. This is our favorite little ritual for it — cozy and warming on a cool morning, light and refreshing when the sun peeks out, and wonderful for supporting immunity as the weather shifts.

Perilla Honey Lemon Tea Recipe — Warm or Chilled

Makes 1L, just right for 1 bag from our farm

You’ll need:

🌿1 bag fresh shiso from the farm — around 12 leaves
💧1L water
🍯1-2 tbsp honey or black sugar, to taste
🍋A few slices of lemon, optional

How to make it:

1. Wash & tear — Rinse leaves gently, then tear by hand into small pieces. Tearing first helps release all that lovely aroma and goodness.
2. Steep — Bring 1L water to just under a boil, add torn leaves, gently simmer / steep 10-15 mins. If using black sugar, add it in the last 2 mins to melt. If using honey, add after.
3. Strain & sweeten — Strain out the leaves, stir in honey while warm, and add lemon if you like.

Enjoy two ways:
☕Warm: Sip right away as a cozy, comforting tea — honey is soft & soothing, black sugar is cozy & warming.
🥤Chilled: Let it cool, then chill in the fridge with ice. Don’t add cold water — heat first, then fridge, for best taste.

Fresh bags tucked for you at the farm this week. Come say hi and take some home. 💛
