Slimy, green, and has a weird smell. Okra. 😑
I wasn’t sure when I first started learning about it. Blending into soup? No thanks.
I kept hearing about its benefits and decided I had to try it- besides, it was only about $1 at the store.
According to the search I’ve done, okra is:
- High in folate(great for pregnancy or if you’re trying to get pregnant)
- Good for balancing blood sugar
- Full of vitamins
- Helps stop you from getting tired
From personal results, I noticed it helps me stay fuller for longer, helps stretch a meal, and gives food good flavor.
I fry it up with some seasonings and put it with salmon. Even my kids love that!
The benefits of okra are even more extensive than my little list! Here’s a couple sites I found that has even more of them! What one stands out the most to you?
