About Bhendi
Bhendi, commonly known as okra or lady’s finger, is a versatile vegetable popular in Indian, Middle Eastern, African, and Caribbean cuisines. Originating from Africa, it is known for its mildly earthy flavor and slimy texture when cooked, which can be reduced through various preparation methods. Bhendi is nutrient-rich, packed with vitamins A, C, and K, along with essential minerals like magnesium and potassium. It is high in dietary fiber, aiding digestion and promoting gut health, while its low calorie count makes it a great option for weight management. The vegetable also contains antioxidants that support immunity and combat inflammation. Its high water content helps in hydration, but some cooking styles—such as deep frying—can add extra fats, which may diminish its health benefits. Enjoyed fresh, steamed, roasted, or in curries, Bhendi is a wholesome addition to any balanced diet.
