Okra (Ladies’ fingers)

Biologically classified as a fruit, okra is generally utilized like a vegetable in cooking.

It’s frequently used in Southern American cuisine and a popular addition to gumbo. Yet, it can have a slimy texture, which some people find unappealing.

Though it’s not one of the most common foods, okra is packed with nutrition.

Here are some nutrition and health benefits of okra:

-Okra is rich in many nutrients and particularly high in vitamins C and K. This fruit is unique, as it provides protein, a nutrient that many other fruits and vegetables lack.

-Okra is rich in antioxidants that may reduce your risk of serious diseases, prevent inflammation, and contribute to overall health. Most notably, it contains polyphenols that may contribute to heart and brain health.

-Okra contains a protein called lectin, which is being studied for its role in cancer prevention and treatment.

-Eating okra may help pregnant women meet their daily folate needs. Folate is important for preventing neural tube defects.
