Okra is a nutrient powerhouse. It contains many nutrients you needed. Raw okra has more nutrients than cooked okra because some vitamins are lost in cooking. Okra will become slimy if you cut it too small. Here are some tips for you. When cooking okra, it can be briefly stir-fried, or cooked with acidic ingredients such as lemon juice, tomatoes, or vinegar to avoid sliminess.
