Okra tastes like a mixture of asparagus and eggplant.
Only the fresh fruit, unlike all other fruits, has a sticky juice that gives it “sliminess” and thickens any dishes (from soups to stews) that are prepared with cut pods.
What are the benefits of okra
The nutritional value of okra lies in the presence of a large amount of water (90%) as well as dietary fiber.
The vegetable also contains a lot of vitamins (choline, vitamin K, vitamin C, vitamin B5, vitamin PP, vitamin B2 and others).
Okra also contains insoluble fiber, which supports gastrointestinal health and reduces the risk of certain types of cancer, particularly colorectal cancer.
It also promotes liver detoxification and has antibacterial properties.
Can you eat raw okra
It tastes like green beans, has a tart, spicy, slightly sour taste and a very mild aroma.
Unlike beans, okra can be eaten raw, making it an ideal addition to fresh salads.
How to Use Okra Seeds
Okra is not only a vegetable crop, but the dried seeds can be used to make vegetable curd, and the roasted and ground seeds can be used as a coffee substitute.
Ripe okra fruits and stems contain crude fibers used in the paper industry.
We previously talked about the benefits of mint tea.
