Okra – love it or hate it – it’s good for you

Okra – you either love this vegetable or hate it or haven’t tried it. But, it IS a healthy food. Okra is in season typically from July through October. It’s most commonly green but there are other varieties such as red. Depending on how you cook it – okra can produce a slimy texture but not always.  Deep frying or grilling or pan frying okra gets rid of that slime.  Okra boasts a number of essential nutrients.
