Short Description:

Okra not only contains calcium equivalent to fresh milk, but also has a calcium absorption rate of 50-60%, which is twice that of milk, so it is an ideal source of calcium. Okra mucilage contains water-soluble pectin and mucin, which can reduce the body’s absorption of sugar, reduce the body’s demand for insulin, inhibit the absorption of cholesterol, improve blood lipids, and eliminate toxins. In addition, okra also contains carotenoids, which can promote the normal secretion and action of insulin to balance blood sugar levels.
