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.

Safety note

This guide does not establish a safe general leaf-infusion recipe. The record remains an identification and cultural note, without dosing or treatment advice.
