OKRA WATER: Health Benefits & How to Make It

Okra quickly becomes overgrown and fibrous, making it more difficult to eat. That okra is perfect for making okra water, a simple and affordable way to boost your health and enjoy the benefits of this nutritious vegetable.

Okra water contains a high amount of soluble fiber, antioxidants, and vitamin C, which makes it a nourishing drink for your body. I like to add lemon, mint, or honey to mine. Have you tried okra water?

Could add it to a soup base, too. Like a veggie soup.

With your information I may now try to grow okra!

After that okra's been soaking in that water, what do you do with the okra?

[Melshed]

How interesting! Does it make the water a bit gelatinous?

[Sisteryoda]

Do you add anything else to it? I’m going to try growing it next season, but in the meantime would I be able to use frozen okra? Thanks for all the great suggestions!

[katherinecornett]

Can you preserve the okra water? Maybe freeze it and maintain the health benefits? Or is it more of a once in a while treat as you get the tougher okra?

It can also cause dysentry/loose motions. Be careful. This is not for everybody. Thats why we always fry them first and avoid cooking them directly in water/broth but only add the fried ones to a thick gravy as a toping just like cilantro/corriender leaves.

why do you have to cut the ends, we don't eat that okra, right?

[secretsoul]

Good. Precaution: not for people who tend to get kidney stone.
