Crispy Okra Recipe

People like to eat some snacks in life, but potato chips or ordinary biscuits can no longer satisfy their appetite. Now more people like to eat foods like animal crisps. The most common one is crispy okra, which tastes good and has high nutritional value and is very popular. So what are the methods of making crispy okra?

Source of raw materials

Okra Crisp uses tender okra fruits that are grown harmlessly without spraying pesticides. Even the ripe okra can be eaten directly. The picked okra needs to be strictly selected, and only the fruits with a length of about 10-12CM, bright surface color, fresh and crispy are retained for processing, which greatly ensures the crisp color and taste of the processed okra.

Okra Crisp Nutrition Facts

Because of its special processing method, okra crisp retains the original nutritional ingredients of okra to a large extent. Its mucus is rich in polysaccharides - dietary fiber. In addition to polysaccharides, okra crisp is also rich in protein, vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin C, calcium, phosphorus, iron, etc. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has also tested the ingredients of okra and confirmed that okra's mucus is indeed rich in nutrients, which can be called "golden mucus".

Nutritional value of okra crisps

1. Plant Viagra

Liu Na, a member of the National Food Nutrition and Advisory Committee, once pointed out that the mucus of okra contains a substance similar to natural hormone, called LM (Lepidimoide), which can strengthen the kidney and replenish deficiency, and is a suitable kidney-tonifying and health-care vegetable; a research report from the Binhai Agricultural Research Institute of the Hebei Academy of Agricultural Sciences also pointed out that okra contains special medicinal ingredients that can strengthen the kidney and replenish deficiency, and has an auxiliary therapeutic effect on male organic diseases. It is a suitable nutritional and health-care vegetable and enjoys the reputation of "plant Viagra". However, its aphrodisiac effect is different from that of the chemical drug Viagra (Viagra mainly acts locally). It gradually exerts its effect through the regulation of the whole body (fighting fatigue, increasing endurance, and promoting blood circulation), so its effect is milder and more lasting, without side effects.

2. Plant Ginseng

There is a thick mucus in the flesh of okra, which is very nutritious, so Japan calls it "plant ginseng". The anti-fatigue effects of ginseng and okra were compared in tests including endurance tests, hypoxia tolerance tests, cold and heat tolerance tests, and the effects on blood lactate levels after intense exercise. The experimental results show that okra has the same effect as the same amount of ginseng, and is truly a green ginseng;

3. Anti-aging

Multiple tests have shown that the flavonoids content of okra is around 2.8%. Flavonoids are a very strong antioxidant that can effectively remove oxygen free radicals in the body. For example, anthocyanins can inhibit the full-stage overflow of oily peroxides. This ability to prevent oxidation is more than ten times that of vitamin E. This antioxidant effect can prevent cell degeneration and aging, and can also prevent the occurrence of cancer.
