{"product_id":"shana-karela-300g","title":"Shana Karela 300g","description":"\u003cp\u003eShana Karela is sliced bitter gourd, the knobbly green vegetable known as karela, foo gwa or margose, hand picked, washed, cut and frozen so it is ready for the pan whenever you need it. Shana freezes its vegetables close to harvest using individual quick freezing with no added water, so the rings stay separate and keep their colour and firm bite. Karela has a clean, bitter flavour that is prized in Gujarati, Punjabi and South Indian kitchens, and frozen slices save all the trimming and seeding.
