I wonder if there is an internet shortage on okra content, or perhaps that people just love this amazing slimefest of a vegetable but just can't find about okra recipes. ]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/03/28/okra-loving-back-for-more/feed/ 10 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/02/10/okra-homa-i-do-love-you/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/02/10/okra-homa-i-do-love-you/#comments Wed, 10 Feb 2010 12:00:03 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=3926 As I prepare for another deliciously delightful 5-Days Vegan that I hope you'll join me for on February 21st, I have also been venturing into the land of new vegetables. I suppose that's what travelling does to someone who is a nutrition nerdress like me (though I say that without judgment). Monday we talked eggplant, today, I am kicking it slimy style with okra. This is okara: Okra is a green vegetable that is mildly fuzzy on the outside and majorly slimy on the inside. As revolting as that unjust description may sound, don't judge a vegetable by its furry/slimyness and instead trust that 1) it IS delicious and 2) that slimyness is a little health bonus. Am I ever excited to share these little tidbits with you: * The superior-powered stylings of fiber found in okra helps stabilize blood sugar by slowing the rate at which it is absorbed. * Okra's mucilage (the slimy part) binds with cholesterol and bile acid carrying toxins that get dumped by our hard working liver and gets that shyte out.]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/02/10/okra-homa-i-do-love-you/feed/ 21
