I originally did not like eating
okra. I disliked its sticky texture;but now I eat it frequently because of its nutritional value and how better it tastes that I prepare it, ha-ha ^-^. Okra contains abundant vitamins and minerals. It is rich in zinc and selenium, among other trace elements, which help enhance the body's anti-cancer capabilities. The sticky liquid in okra tender fruits includes pectin and mucopolysaccharides, among other polysaccharides. Mucopolysaccharides can boost the body's resistance, maintain the smoothness of joint membranes and serous membranes within joint cavities, reduce the accumulation of lipid substances on arterial walls, and prevent atrophy of connective tissue in the liver and kidneys.
Okra is high in water content but low in fat, making it suitable for ladies trying to lose weight or slim down. It also contains vitamin C and dietary fiber that can make the skin appear more youthful.Fried okra with shrimp Ingredients and tools
