1. Is it poisonous?Okra is non-toxic. It is generally used for cooking and can also be eaten raw. It has high nutritional value. Although it is non-toxic in itself, it contains a high level of protein. If stored for too long or at a high temperature, the protein will deteriorate and decompose into amines, which are toxic to the human body. A major characteristic of spoilage is a blackened surface, in which case the food cannot be eaten. 2. Who should not eat it?Okra contains a variety of nutrients and can supplement soluble fiber, but long-term intake will also increase kidney stones and may also cause hyperuricemia and diarrhea. It is not suitable for obese people, patients with hyperuricemia and diarrhea to consume in large quantities. If you have kidney stones, you can blanch it in boiling water before eating to dissolve the oxalic acid in it so that it can be eaten safely. 3. How to eat1. Eat with other ingredients: Okra has the effect of nourishing yin and replenishing water, and is especially suitable for consumption in autumn. You need to blanch it in hot water before eating. Pay attention to the time, as blanching it for too long will easily cause nutrient loss. After blanching, cut it into pieces, mix it with cucumbers, etc., and add appropriate amount of seasoning. 2. Stir-fry: Stir-frying okra is also one of the more common cooking methods, and it can be paired with a lot of ingredients and tastes very good. The problem with stir-frying is that it is easy to lose nutrients and reduce its efficacy, but it can still supplement zinc and improve the body's immunity. 3. Soak in water and drink: Okra can be used to soak in water. It is rich in protein and carbohydrates, which can replenish energy. It can also relieve fatigue and has a preventive effect on constipation caused by sitting for a long time. |
