Cerasee
Cerasee, known as cundeamor, refers to Momordica charantia used as a bitter herbal plant. Leaf infusions are distinct from recipes for the cultivated bitter-melon fruit.
Caribbean uses
Cerasee is known in parts of the Caribbean as a bitter infusion. That cultural use does not establish a universal culinary dose or make it a salad herb.
Preparation and storage
Do not substitute the leaf, fruit and extracts for one another. A menu should specify the actual ingredient and avoid unexpected herbal preparations.
