Whole bitter MELON is squeezed and then spray-dried without adding heat to keep its flavor, color and components. Made in Japan
Bitter melon is well grown in the southern part of Japan (South Kyushu, Okinawa.) It has unique taste and bitterness, and is rich in water-soluble vitamins. It has been shown to have an effect on diabetes treatment. Our own factory is located in Oita, which is 1,000km (600 miles) away from the incident area.
Our Organic Bitter Melon extract is made by a proprietary process called " activity preservation method " in which fresh whole Japanese bitter melon is squeezed and then spray-dried without adding heat to keep its flavor, color and components. All the manufacturing is done in our own Japanese factory , which has been third party inspected ( Organic JAS - Japanese Agricultural Standard and GMP ). Because it is an extract powder, it does not contain fiber which interrupts absorption of nutrients in the body.
USES:
Our vegetable extract powders retain the natural color, taste and nutrients of the original materials, while still having superior dispersibility. It is great as a food ingredient and perfect to blend in foods, beverages, dietary supplements, frozen desserts, and confectionaries.
