Okra

Okra is a vegetable highly valued in African, Asian, and Arabic cuisines, often compared in taste to zucchini or eggplant. It has a delicate, neutral flavor that easily absorbs the aromas of other ingredients, making it a versatile addition to many dishes. Okra is an excellent way to enhance meals, especially when fried, as it pairs wonderfully with meat or fish. It is also tasty, rich in nutrients, and quick to prepare. Thanks to its natural thickening properties, okra is ideal for use in stews, soups, or dishes with braised vegetables.

Okra boasts an impressive array of nutrients. It is an excellent source of vitamin C and vitamin K1. Additionally, it provides vitamin A, B vitamins, including B6 and B9, as well as calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, and iron. Okra is also a good source of protein and fiber.
