Hey there! Have you ever heard of a bitter gourd? In Hainan, a beautiful island province in China, farmers are celebrating a huge harvest of these unique veggies! 🌿🥒
Right now, in Fengmu Town, Tunchang County, the fields are filled with rows of trellises heavy with glossy, green bitter gourds. Each one is plump and ready to pick! Farmers are working hard—picking, carrying, weighing, and loading the gourds. It’s a busy and joyful time! 😊
What’s a Bitter Gourd?
A bitter gourd, also known as a bitter melon, is a vegetable that looks a bit like a cucumber with bumpy skin. It might taste a little bitter (as the name suggests!), but it’s packed with vitamins and is popular in many Asian dishes. 🥘
Growing Together
In the past few years, Fengmu Town decided to grow more of these special vegetables. By planting bitter gourds, they’ve helped farmers earn more money and made the town a better place to live. 🌟
Thanks to everyone’s hard work, Fengmu is now enjoying a bountiful harvest. This success shows how communities can work together to grow and thrive! 🌱✨
