About Quiabo
Quiabo, commonly known as okra, is a versatile vegetable widely used in African, Middle Eastern, Indian, and Southern American cuisines. Originating in tropical and subtropical regions, it is prized for its edible green pods, which contain small white seeds and a slimy substance that aids in thickening soups and stews. Rich in nutrients, quiabo offers a wealth of vitamins such as A, C, and K, along with folate and essential minerals like calcium, potassium, and magnesium. Its dietary fiber supports healthy digestion, while antioxidants help combat inflammation and protect against free radicals. Low in calories and fat, it’s great for weight management. However, its natural mucilage texture may not appeal to everyone, and frying this vegetable in recipes can add unhealthy fats. Whether boiled, roasted, or included in dishes like gumbo, quiabo makes for a nutritious and flavorful addition to your diet.
