What can you say about okra? Most likely you will either really enjoy okra or it is going to have to grow on you. Okra is very common in cajun cooking in the southern parts of the United States. It is a shame that Okra isn’t as popular in other parts of the United States too. You can usually find okra in your local market in the frozen food section.

Okra is very healthy for you for a number of different reasons. One of the things okra is noted for is it’s ability to be a demulcint. A demulcint is a compound that can coat and sooth pain and inflammation in mucus membranes. The demulcint in okra is mucilage. People who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome may benefit from eating okra.

Low in calories but high in nutrients, okra is a healthy veggie to add to your diet. Low calorie count and high fiber make this ideal for people who are trying to lose weight. Okra is also high in fiber, which also helps in digestion and keeping your digestive tract healthy. Okra is also high in the important vitamins B, A, and C. The bonus okra holds is it is also heart healthy. When eaten regularly, okra can assist in lowering cholesterol.

Okra is commonly used in gumbos and soups in the southern part of the U.S. Okra’s mucilage helps to thicken these culinary delights. Okra can be eaten raw but that is based on preference. Some compare the flavor to eggplant. Fried okra is also a common way to eat it.  Frying also helps to reduce the slimy texure also. Okra can also be boiled and steamed though this does tend to make it slimy.

There are tons of recipes you can try to enjoy okra. Cajun is always a fun way to cook.  Everyone should try this at least once as it very commonly contains okra.
