This is the project I’m working on in the house while my honey heals up. Turning over grown okra into soup thickener. I’m dehydrating it as I go and will be grinding it into a powder afterwards. You can buy okra powder as a gumbo seasoning in stores.
Okra has long been favored as a food for the health-conscious. It contains:
potassium
vitamin B
vitamin C
folic acid
calcium
It’s low in calories and has a high dietary fiber content. The immature seeds of the okra pod are suggested to help manage blood sugar in cases of type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes.
