Okra Powder 50g

Okra powder is made from dried okra pods (including peel and seeds) and is valued for its soluble fibre (mucilage) and plant compounds that support digestion and metabolism. It’s a shelf-stable way to enjoy the nutritional benefits of fresh okra.

🌱 Key Health Benefits

• Blood sugar regulation: The mucilage slows sugar absorption, helping manage glucose levels.
• Digestive health: Rich in soluble fibre, it supports gut bacteria and reduces constipation.
• Heart health: Fiber and antioxidants may lower cholesterol and improve circulation.
• Nutrient-rich: Provides magnesium, folate, vitamin C, vitamin K1, and antioxidants.
• Pregnancy support: Folate helps reduce the risk of neural tube defects.
• Anti-inflammatory: May ease joint pain and swelling.
• Potential anticancer properties: Antioxidants and polyphenols are being studied for protective effects.

🥗 Common Uses

• Smoothies: Add a teaspoon for fibre and nutrients.
• Soups & stews: Thickens dishes naturally.
• Herbal blends: Mixed with other powders for metabolic support.
• Capsules: Available as supplements for convenience.

⚠️ Precautions

• Excessive intake may cause digestive discomfort due to high fibre.
