    Today me and Tuck are harvesting the best food in the world, and the great thing about it is that anyone can grow it too if they have the space. Not even kings can get food this good, and when you grow the food using permaculture principles the work becomes easier and the food gets sweeter with every passing year.

      Did you like the bitter melon in the stir fry? I've seen it in recipes but not enough to actually grow it. I think I'll stick with my chicken tikka masala. I do add diced potato and summer squash to my tikka masala though.

      When James said he was going to eat the bitter melon raw, I thought, 'oh no! bad idea!' To reduce the bitterness, after I slice it up, I either a- salt it, wait a few minutes and rinse or b- parboil it before I put it in the stir fry.

    • @jngx80
      @jngx80 2 роки тому +2

      Don’t eat it raw. Even when cooked it’s kinda bitter. Chinese usually stir fry it with pork or beef - common recipe is with black bean but don’t need it. Look up how to prep. Cooked longer so it’s softer should take out most of the bitterness. You’ve got to pair it with the meat or like rice. After you try it a couple of times it may grow on you so don’t write it off just yet. For my family it’s not an everyday dish though.

    • @yeevita
      @yeevita 2 роки тому

      @@jngx80 I could eat it everyday now, but yeah, it took a bit. Early on, I only like it super ripe and/or cooked very well, until soft. I have found some varieties now that are not that bitter even when green. Nowadays I like it barely sauteed, but yeah, he is super brave eating an unknown green one raw.

    DEAR JAMES,
    I live in the Philippines and bitter melon is one of our favorite veggie (just not raw) please try this recipe first, this will mellow down the bitterness. stir fry the bittermelon in lots of tomatoes and eggs. You can put some meat on it too. We use bittermelon a lot and I think it is a great way to stretch a family's food budget ☺️ also it has tons if health benefits 🤩

    We used to grow a native variety of ampalaya/bitter gourd here in the Philippines that really looks like the one you have shown James. We fry it with eggs and tomatoes or make it into salad simply using vinegar and season it with salt. We used to add salt first and then squeeze out the juice to remove the bitterness.

You are whipcord lean and have energy levels through the roof! The way you describe the taste, texture and flavor of your fruit and veg can only come from a person who grows AND EATS whole organic foods. I can take your observations to the bank because you embody the health benefits of someone eating a vibrant diet of whole, organic produce.

    I live in Southern California, been gardening since last spring, I'm learning so much from you and other gardeners on UA-cam. Thank you so much ❤️ I love watching all your videos, thanks for sharing your knowledge and wisdom. You're very inspirational, full of energy and love. Yes, bitter melon is best eaten cooked especially with some beef as like a stew, or cooked into soup, it has lots of health benefits

    You can put an animal trap in you garden with one of your apples or whatever the bunny is eating cut up and it will catch the bunny. Then you can relocate it.

    I don't remember what Gardener said it : " I don't give some away because I grew too much, I grow too much so I can give some away." There must be neighbors or places where you can share that bounty if you have more than you can eat. I'd hate to see any of that beautiful produce go to waste. My Indonesian wife and her friends love bitter melon. Of course, they know how to prepare it. Maybe there's some Asian people in your community you could share them with rather than rot on the vine. I'm growing a different type of bitter melon and Asian long beans, among other things this year.😁

    James, your forest is growing an abundance of food. Every single crop looks amazing. If I can obtain half of what you have done it would be awesome. I cant wait until I have land to grow my own food forest. You and Tuck make us all want to grow everything just to experience some of what you two have done. If I was your neighbor, I would help in your garden to get some of that amazing food. 👍💯👨‍🌾💜🤍💙💚💛🧡❤️💕❤️🧡💛💚💙🤍💜🐶💜🤍💙💚💛🧡❤️💕❤️🧡💛💚💙🤍💜🐶👨‍🌾.

    Bitter melon is a super food for summer, great for detox especially for our liver . We use it for soup or stir fry.

    Hey James, when you were going to try the bitter melon I was shouting at my laptop screen saying
    Don't do it!!!! haha! Trinidadians fry bitter melon with garlic and onions and seasonings to make it taste better. It's still bitter even after all that lol! Hearts for Tucky❤🧡💖💛💗💚💓💙💞💜💕🤎
