More about Okra - what else
Okra seed meal has 15% or more protein;
okra seed oil contains 70% unsaturated fatty acid;
Ground, roasted okra seeds can be brewed to make a coffee like beverage.
boiled okra leaves provide vitamins A and C, plus calcium and iron. I'm not big on boiled green leaves, but I think I will try it.
Juice from okra pods is an Ayurvedic remedy for balancing blood sugar. Now don't ask me what a Ayurvedic is, but I'm sure they know more than I do about okra pod juice. I don't know that I will be trying this any time soon. The only juicer I have just does oranges and lemons. I don't think I could get juice out of an okra pod very easy.
It also has pretty flowers and they are yellow. I seem to like yellow flowers. Each bloom only lasts about one day before it starts to turn into an okra pods.
