Okra is a tropical vegetable known for its elongated shape and slightly slimy texture when cooked. Rich in fibre and vitamins A, C and K, it improves digestion and boosts the immune system. Okra is also low in calories, making it an excellent choice for a balanced diet. Choose firm, unblemished green pods of medium length (around 7 to 10 cm), as they will be more tender and flavoursome. Did you know that okra is used as a natural thickener in dishes such as gumbo, thanks to its gelling properties? A surprisingly versatile ingredient!
