Bitter fruit is a kind of wild vegetable peculiar to Yunnan, also called bitter eggplant, which is the fruit of Solanaceae plant. Produced in southwestern Yunnan, the fruit can be divided into two types: big bitter fruit and small bitter fruit due to the different bitterness, shape and size of the fruit. The plant of the big bitter fruit is like the plant of eggplant. The difference is that the plants of the big bitter fruit are mostly purple, and the leaf margins have wavy cracks, and the leaf veins and opposite stalks have backward hard spines. After blooming, the flowers are small lilac flowers, only one-third the size of eggplant flowers. Blossom and bear fruit every spring. The fruit is oblate with many cracks. The diameter is about 3cm. The fruit is dark green when immature, and orange when ripe. Its taste is bitter and cold, and it is slightly sweet after bitterness. The locals love to eat it. The small bitter fruit is only the size of a pea, and the sweetness is stronger than that of the big bitter fruit. The dish I made for you today is to burn the big bitter fruit. Because there is no charcoal grill, it can only be roasted slowly with an electric stove. The bitter fruit tastes back to sweetness from the bitterness. I like this taste very much. This big plate I ate all the bitter fruit by myself. Bitter fruit has the functions of clearing away heat, detoxifying, reducing inflammation and improving throat. "
