Removing the Bitterness of Caralluma Tuberculata
  1. Take a bowl and pour in half a liter of water along with two teaspoons of salt. Mix the salt in water thoroughly. Soak the caralluma tuberculata in salty water for 20 minutes to remove the bitterness.
    After 20 minutes, wash the caralluma by rubbing the pieces gently inside the salted water. Don't scrub too hard to break the pieces. Wash them gently to remove the bitterness. After washing, drain the water.
    Now pour clean water into it and stir it once and drain this water. Repeat this process two times and rinse the caralluma thoroughly so that the extra salt can drain out.
