This small Japanese bitter melon is known for its tolerance to heat. The climbing vine can reach 12 feet tall. Yellow blossoms yield to spindle-shaped melons with heavily warted dark green skin. Typical melons are 6"-8" long. Considered a delicacy by some, the leafy shoots and leaves are typically prepared by quick-frying. Most Asian cuisines stir-fry or steam the young melons or use them to enhance the flavor in soups.
