    We make okra with tomato sauce in lebanon. It's one of my favorite foods. We cook it in olive oil, onions, garlic, peeled chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, and frozen or fresh okra. Some like to add beef cubes. So good 😍😍

    Thanks for all the good info, Recently I was diagnosed with diabetes, my A1C was 14.5 and my sugar was 490, I didn’t even know it, I quickly made major changes to my diet and exercise. It been 2 months my new A1C is 8.1. And daily sugar has been between 67- 134, even during vacation and my birthday. Watching and learning each day. Okra is one of my favorite vegetables, sauté it with olive oil, turmeric, red chili, salt, or make a lentil soup with okra in it. My goal is to reverse my diabetes but most people are telling me that is not possible, I am in a mission. Thanks for all the info
  • I can grow okra where I live. The okra doesn't make it to the baking sheet. I eat it raw right off the plant. It's wonderful. Pickled okra is great too.
  • @publiuszero79
    Moringa is the top vegetable. Seaweed is also worth mentioning

    I follow the lectin free diet of Dr. Gundry. One day I ate mushrooms and my body reacted to it. Not able to eat it, but I have adopted okra in my daily diet. I love it! For protein I eat cod, wild caught tuna, grass fed eggs or wild caught salmon in a can.

    Gumbo is an African word for okra. In S. Louisiana, I grew up eating okra we picked fresh. It's good fried, boiled, on top of lequmes, and smothered with tomato and onion. We ate collard, mustard, and turnip greens and occationally wild poke (tastes like spinach but needs parboiling to remove toxins). I'm 70 and hardly sick throughout my life. Being raised alongside livestock probably helps, too. It's not about living long but staying healthy while you live. edit to add pickled okra.

    3 Best vegetables: 1)Mushrooms 2)Okra 3)Dark bitter greens
  • In Trinidad & Tobago in the Caribbean we put ochro in almost everything! We sauté ochro and eat with roti, there is ochro rice and ir is a core ingredient in soups and our callaloo made from the dasheen leaf. We get them fresh off the tree in the market and grocery. My son loved the slime when he was 1yr old but now he likes them crunchy. Thanks for this! You should totally check out what we do with ochro in all its variety! Oh yes and baked or fried in coconut oil with some garlic is the way to go!
  • Molokeya..another under used undiscovered super duper food,,,,out of Africa. I never stopped craving it after I ate it all over Egypt and the Sudan. . As for Okra.... I eat it sauted with onions and tomatoes and garlic, then add more tomato sauce until its like a soup, a dash of cumin and powdered coriander, then at the end, throw in chopped handful of fresh cilantro to cook lightly. Add lemon juice and serve over basmati rice... yum ! heaven!
  • I am Brazilian and we eat a lot of okra in Brazil. People just love it 😊
  • My father and I LOVE having boiled okra with a mild drizzle of mustard oil and a pinch of rock salt with white rice.
  • @patlee7352
    In Jamaica we make steam fish and okra for dinner very tasty.💯🇯🇲
  • @EngrLethA
    Bittermelon should also be mentioned. I never miss eating it once a week. Can be eaten raw or sauté with onion 🧅 and garlic in olive oil then whisk beaten egg 🥚 last when cooking is almost done. 💕 Fan of Dr Gundry here .

    Letting your mushroom sit on a window sill allows it to absorb vitamin d. Blend frozen okra and/or mushrooms in a food processor and mix with your make ahead meatball recipe. Can’t even taste it💕
  • @shazanakhan9807
    Us Indians, Bangladeshi, Pakistanis and Sirlankan loves okra. We have it twice weekly at least amongst cauliflower, aubergine etc. I eat more spinach than mushrooms but occasionally have mushrooms.
  • @kyliejacobs6817
    Okra is highly used in Thai and Laos foods and when I tried it I fell in love with it and continue to use it when I can find it. Not Many people know of this vegetable
