Bitter melon comes in a variety of shapes and sizes.
The bitter melon has a narrower shape with pointed ends, and a surface
covered with jagged, triangular "teeth" and ridges.
It is green to white in color

3. The fruit has a distinct warty exterior and an oblong shape. It is hollow in
cross-section, with a relatively thin layer of flesh surrounding a central
seed cavity filled with large, flat seeds and pith

4. The skin is tender and edible. Seeds and pith appear white in unripe fruits

5. When the fruit is fully ripe, it turns orange and mushy, and splits into
segments which curl back dramatically to expose seeds covered in bright
red pulp
