Gudrun Howell · October 29, 2017 ·

Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) is one of the oldest healthy ingredients, which was used in a big way back in the menus of many cuisines. However, on it is still shyly says, because most do not even know how does it look like, not what it tastes like, or what it can do. And the okra has been used in the diet for three and a half millennia.

Even Cleopatra knew about its outstanding impact on the smoothness and skin tightness. Because of its aphrodisiac properties, okra was the favorite dish to the kings.

This perennial plant of the family marshmallow grows up to a meter in height. There are fruit with oblong ribbed shape that are easily digestible, juicy, pleasant and slightly pungent in taste. For consumption use only young immature fruits, which when cooking decompose releasing a multitude of tiny seeds and are extremely rich in protein and fat.
