In it's purest form, or cooked it is like any other vegetable. But baked in oil and with a bread crust around it does not.

Can it lower blood sugar levels if you soak okra in a glass of water overnight and drink the water on an empty stomach the next morning?
My wife read this somewhere and started me on this Okra water regime. I am a food scientist and did some research. Okra is supposedly high in fibre. Some part of that fibre will be soluble and will dissolve in water overnight. Dietary fiber is low GI and also helps constipation. But are there other easy sources for Dietary fibre, sure. So no special points to Okra on that one. Why keep it overnight in water? Just eating a baked or raw Okra will give you same benefits. Okra is also high in Vit B as per some sources. Thsi will dissolve into the water. B helps nerve damage caused by Diabetes. But how is that different than eating a raw Okra or other sources of Vit B? So no special points to OKRA on that one either. Okra could have some undiscovered chemical that heps diabetes. These things are possible all the while. So my bottom line on this is: cannot hurt, might slightly assist diabetes.

For whole okra, trim the stem just shy of the pod, cutting into the pod will cause the pod to dry even if frozen.

Then pat dry with a paper towel, and place into a freezer bag and press as much air out of bag aspossible, seal and freeze.

How do you eat okra?
ANSWER:Either as fried okra or in a recipe called okra and tomatos.Take two 12 ounce cans or 3 cups skinned, crushed tomatos and about 2 cups of okra cut in slices about 3/8 inch long. Add this to a soup pot, add a little water if necessary and cook until the okra is no longer crunchy. Add salt and pepper to taste. The last time I cooked this, my wife had never tried it because the only okra she had eaten was cooked whole in a soup and was slimy. I got 1 bowl, she ate the rest.
