It's amazing how as an African who grew up under very extreme poverty lines, what my parents could afford was green veggies, meat was a luxury only afforded mostly at Christmas. What we didn't know was that, what we thought or saw as a poor man's diet, inclusive of Okra almost every second day was actually very healthy for our bodies. Thanks Dr for such enlightenment
True am from Kenya 🇰🇪 my mum made us eat okra vegetables for a good digestive system, my mum is illiterate she never went to school but she was very wise, am 60 years old now my mum is in her early eighties!! When I was growing up, cancer was a disease for white rich people!!! I never heard anyone in my family ever dying of cancer, my maternal and parternal grandparents died of old age attained almost a hundred years, they died in their late 90s, we come from the lake area our main diet being fish, millet, traditional vegetables (including okra) sweet potato and groundnuts. Meat is eaten on festive occasions and the cows are traditional ones grazing from one place to another,the cows milk is used to produce ghee.
As a Jamaican no disrespect to my favorite Dr but as a Jamaican we have been eating okra from as long as I can remember and what the Dr Is saying about okra and fertility we always hear our elders talked about it especially the Rastafarians , my question is how come our elderly people on the island knew all about the nutritional value of the different foods and vegetables and they didn’t have a college degree some of them never even have a high school diploma but yet they new so much , nowadays we don’t even know what we are eating it looks like food but is it ?

My Caribbean & Southern families have been eating okra/okro since before I was born. My grandmother told me that particular food came over to the Caribbean and the US with the slaves from West Africa. The elders in my family ate it fried, stewed, sautéed faithfully… and these are the elders that lived beyond their 80’s. Thanks for putting this out into the public eye.

Hi everyone, pls eat fresh much better. Steam, not boiling, until soft. Dip into sauce of your choice and eat with rice. I cook pork or chicken or duck in a pot with a bit of sugar, salt, water , ground peppers and fish sauce. This is fhe sauce to eat with salad, okra etc. Simple but the best. To buy the younb okra, just snap the tail and if it is fallen apart that means fresh and young. If it doesn't fall apart, it's old and chewy, don't buy them. Pls avoid tablets as supplements.
Dr. Alan, as a physician myself, I really applaud you for breaking away from the pharmaceutical companies and other colleagues. Actually, as an African, okra is a main part of our diet. But the reason why we don't get the full benefits is because of the way we prepare it- with all kinds of meat, oil, etc.
Not everyone cook okra with oil, meat etc. That is called *ila asepo*. Originally, Yorubas cook okra fresh with just a little salt and iru ( a seasoning) . Then use it along red stew to eat our solids. Just for 3mins. On the other hand, for the mixed okra with oil,meat etc..the okra is added last ! It uses just 3mins as well. * We usually add bitter leaf / ugwu leaves to make the dish healthier and more enjoyable.
I love okra! Fried, boiled, in soups. I can eat them pickled but prefer fried. Since fried foods are taboo, I only eat it fried once in a blue moon. I like the slimy too. My dad grew this every year and it produces beautiful yellow blooms. The tallest okra plant I have ever seen is 16foot tall. In order to produce an abundant crop keep harvesting each stalk on a continuous basis when a pod is about 2 inches long. A new pod will grow. You will only need approximately 10 plants to keep you supplied for the summer, and it freezes really well if you have too much. Okra loves hot weather and water regularly. If the plant does not get enough water the pod will be dry and hard. I like the little pods best of all. I grows really fast so keep it cut.
Okra is one of our main meals in Ghana, especially the for the ewe's located in the (Volta region), yet many "educated" people are leaving this blessing of ours for fries and all kind of foods that will deteriorate thier health.
Thank you so much. I'm from typical rural area in Ghana 🇬🇭. My father taught me all this. And he never went to school like you. And now you confirmed it. How healthy that is okra to our body's. Thank you once again. For sharing such great knowledge with us. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY 👪.
@@renjackson3822 You can steam it or stir fry it. I stir fry it with either shrimp, Brussels sprouts, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, you get it. You can also make rice with it, just make sure you season the rice to bring out the flavors. You can also cook it with things that require longer cooking time and water, like soups or stews. But the best way to make it it's stir frying it lightly seasoned, crunchy but not mushy. If you want to cut down on the slime use lemon juice. 🤗
@@jamesmarks300 ua-cam.com/video/fWjRzWN-vTg/v-deo.html Of course, WHY she uses it is different than why you would. But this answers your question. Try with smaller amount though
Yeh I’m working with trying to like it😂😂😅 I only like it fried, cause of its gooey state..But for all the health reasons I Definitely need to try to eat more okra, due to having Asthma
Thank you Dr. We eat Okra in Nigeria and moving to the UK, I still enjoy Okra. We regularly eat it with Eba (cassava grain), Amala (yam flour) or Iyan (Pounded Yam). The way we cook it in Nigeria is appealing as we lightly grate it, add iru spice or dry fish...yum yum!!
He was on 3 million subs 2 months ago when i decided to change my eating habits.. one of his ACV recipes for heart health has done wonders for me. You deserve all the success in your life Doctor!
Thanks Doctor it's true I had stopped eating posho, and was told about orca in Liberia, thanks to God things changed but challenge is now growing them because of sturbone climate issues.
I cut them in half the long way, toss them in oil then shake chili powder on them then air fry. Great tasting easily replaces popcorn, potato chips, etc as a snack
Wow this sounds great because I like okra but I don't know how to cook it. And I like to cook. And I just bought an air fryer. So I think I will go tomorrow and pick some up and try to make them in the air fryer. Thank you for this I love it when people share. God bless you.
In Louisiana okra is a very popular food. My father and grandfather grew a truck patch, which is a large vegetable garden. I am retired now, 67 and my body feels starved for most of the foods I and my husband was raised on. We both have strong cravings for sugar but have cut back. We also try very hard to stay away from fast foods. We eat real foods and fruits and vegetables daily. We are what we eat I truly believe this. Speaking of okra. I purchase one bushel annually from an elderly lady in town who cooks it and stores it in freezer bags. Been doing this for years because it’s not too fun to prep, cook and store it. Had to help mom do that when I was a kid!!!!!! Boiling the small okra and pouring a little vinegar and white pepper is also delicious or pickled too.
I love this vegetable. I was raised on it. My Father was from the South and they ate it almost everyday. I love it so much and I prepare it in many ways. Thank you and God Bless you Dr. Mandell.
I was born in Egypt and this was one of the main dishes my mother cooked and we moved to Australia and again my darling mother continued cooking this dish. She cooked it in a red sauce with chunks of beef and it melted in your mouth. I so miss her now that she has crossed 🙏
I am from Jordan this is a Famous meal called bamya which is okra at first we fried a littile bit then we add lots of minced garlic then. Stir togather then add the beef like stew size then add tomatoes sauce and water if two cans of sauce then fill it half way with water, then. Let it cook on low heat for a good hour salt and pepper cumin . Add chili is optional..with steam rice . Wala.
I absolutely love Okro, that's what we call it in our part of the world. Thank you so much for this video. I learnt lots from it. I make curry and put them in soups. We eat this stuff, and loads of it almost every day. Thank you for explaining all the wonderful benefits of eating this great vegetable
I was afraid to click!! I thought you were going to tell me okra was not good for me. I'm so glad to see that it's a good food! It is kind of a comfort food for me. It reminds me of my Big Mama (granny) & Big Daddy (grandpa). They farmed it in a small rural country town in Texas. My Big Mama was from Louisiana so she made chicken Gumbo with okra all the time!
That’s exactly what happened to me!! There is already so much I have to avoid, and I love okra…I was sure he was gonna say, “DO NOT EAT OKRA”, but I forced myself to watch it…so glad I did!!!!
I ate the young okra raw when i was younger. I love to eat it whole in stew. Many of these plants came with our ancestors. We are lucky to have these vegetables available.
My Mom Grandmother & Aunt must have known this because we grew up on okra & I still eat it to this day now that you've made this video I'm going to go buy some okra I Love it my family won't eat it but the pickled okra is absolutely delicious and I don't cook it to much if I add it to my food & fried okra is the business 😋 Thank u for this piece of information Doc u are the Absolute Best 🙏✝️ 💜🙏
So very true, I recently had a conversation with a friend, talking about our grandmother that raised us. How they did not have a degree. Not even a high school diploma. Yet they were smart, wise. They fed you the healthiest foods. Yes okra is an amazing vegetable. Thanks be to God for our grandmother's.

Put okra in a pit of water , boil it , strain it, then mix it with sweet condensed milk, a bit of spice , and that’s okra juice , you can add Guinness to it if you want to. Open the belly of the fish , and stuff it with okra , carrots , cabbage, bell peppers, thyme , fish seasoning and spinach if you want , wrap the fish in foil , place it on your barbecue , or put it in your oven , but first put a little water in a oven dish , then put the wrapped up fish in the water , put in oven and steam , oh put some butter in the fish belly with the stuttering, and some butter on top of the fish, then wrap in foil , place it in the oven dish . Put lots of okra in your pot of fish soup aswell Steam fish on the cooker , with lots of okra , some seasoning, thyme , carrots , any vegetable you like , potatoes, excelsior crackers , close that pot , few mins , and you will have a lovely steamed fish meal 🥘
thank you Dr. Mandell. I intend to start an intense OKRA program today. i have some nice green young OKRA in the fridge.in addition i planted some OKRA seeds and the trees are growing well.
Dr. Allen, It',s proving that exact meaning of a kindness, as a Doctor to the miserable patients, who knows nothing about the medical treatments. We really appreciate your concern , realizing the gap between the Doctor and a patient and giving this kind of presentation. Such Doctors are called our living gods. I take this opportunity to thank the entire society of the medical field for their generous contribution. Thank you so much once again. Damitha de Silva.
We love okra in Ghana . We use it in soups and you can prepare stew with it. You can fry it too. Very delicious! I must confess though that I didn't know about the health benefits till today. Thank you sir for this wonderful video. I will share it with your permission 😁😁
Thanks for sharing this information I love the slime no problem for me. Good video, very knowledgeable and helpful piece of information for those who have been struggling with their health. God bless you Dr so much healing mechanism in our food that were not aware of. God said the herbs of the land is for the healing of the nation's. great is thy faithfulness Oh God my Savior.
As a Caribbean national ockro is a staple in Caribbean and West African diets for centuries. We grow, harvest and eat ockro from our backyards. We prepare it in many ways and have known for a long time about the benefits you listed. But I am glad to see it making its way into Western diets.
Okra, Shrimp and Tomatoes with Andouille Sausage over rice is one of my favorite recipes. Everyone, even those that think that they hate okra even love it! I also put it in my Gumbo. The secret to cooking Okra is to NOT over manipulate it because then it becomes too slimy!
Yes, use to cook it just that way using Hillshire Polish sausage- now I cook it with a little olive oil to get rid of some of the slim, shredded chicken breast, chopped garlic, sliced polish sausage, add water and Touch of Taste chicken bouillon simmer keeping liquid content high-then pour over rice! Delicious! Salt & Pepper to taste. Another form of quick gumbo.
I have grown to know my people and country 🇳🇬 that we eat Okra since time immemorial and we make all sorts of delicacies from Okra,we grow/plant it all year long,it’s one of God’s Very Beautiful Creations for Okra is great in every nutrients 🤍🙏🏿💯 Thanks Dr Mandela for throwing more light on Okra 🫶🏿👏🏿🙌🏿
Hi Dr.Alan,thank you so much for promoting Okra, I'm from India and bhendi (okra)as it's called in Hindi is a part of the Indian vegetarian diet. We can add either yoghurt, cumin powder or lime juice to get rid of that sticky stuff. Sending you so much love and light.God Bless ❤️❤️
Dr Mandel thank you very much, for the much-needed information. I have grown okra on my farm, just to sell or give to whoever wanted it, as I really didn't know it but now I know the nutritional value of it and as an asthma surverer I will take serious note of what you have shared. God bless you more. You are truly amazing, selfless human being! You are God sent! I thank God for your life!
I'm from the West Indies and we grew up eating this Vegetable. We have many different recipes, and they're really tasty and nutritious. Thanks Dr Mandell for sharing this information.👍 🙏
@@dominiquegibson5990 There's a lot of ytube channel okra tutorials. Very easy u just have to come up with your own dish.It has a lot of health benefits.
I love okra thanks to my dad and grand parents as a child growing up picking okra from the garden I never forget grand ma warned me that it will make you itch if you touch it with your bare hands but that didn’t stop me from cleaning cutting and helping out in the kitchen cooking I didn’t know at the time how healthy it was thanks for the video very interesting ❤️♥️♥️👍
I've recently been diagnosed as Pre-diabetic, and my nephew recommended okra water. In addition to drinking the water for the past two weeks, I save the okra for making an okra/shrimp dish. Thank you Dr. Mandell for your very comprehensive summation of okra benefits.
@@arlenetillman6481 thanks 🙏 for asking. Shampoo hair with ORS OLIVE 🫒 OIL CREAMY ALOE SHAMPOO. Massage 💆♀️ into scalp. It’s gently cleanse and detangles. Place about 5 okra in a blender with half a glass 🥃 of water 💦. Blend for a few minutes until it’s done. Pour the blended mixture into a strainer after you have placed a clean cloth over the strainers. Squeeze out the product into bowl. Add your favourite conditioner. I use Schwarzkopf GLISS hair repair conditioner. Mix the mixture and then. Part your hair into 4 separate sections. Using 4 grips, either your bear hands 🙌 or gloves 🧤 massage into hair. AVOID TANGLED HAIR BY COMBING ON MIXTURE STARTING FROM THE ENDS. You can use the brush or back of the comb. Your choice. Place a cling film or plastic bag on your hair. Most IMPORTANTLY DON’T TANGLE YOUR HAIR. Let the water run down from roots. I choose Schwarzkopf conditioner supreme length Keratin serum+micro repair lipids It’s says IMMEDIATE DETANGLING INSTANT HAIR FLUIDITY 👍 YES IT WORKS ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE KEPT YOUR HAIR UP IN BUN OR BRAID FOR A WHILE.
I've been eating okra since I was a little girl. My father grew all kinds of vegetables. He's 99 and still grow his favorite collard green, peppers, onions, purple hull peas and OKRA! Thank you so much for this video. I love okra and today I'm going to buy okra and see if okra works for me, I hope so. How do you make the okra water? Thank you
Thanks doctor I really really like okra in Nigeria 🇳🇬 that’s our best soup we call it ILA alasepo you can have it with our traditional food like Iyan, Eba, Amala it’s really delicious try it it’s Nigerian great food 🥘👍👌👏👏
In Philippine mostly in the province okra is everywhere we plant them in our backyard. Now that im working here in israel okra always included in my list. Thank you Doc .
We plant a big crop of okra every year and freeze what we can't eat. We pickle it, put it in stews and soups and we slice it up in a skillet and cook in butter, then scramble some eggs in it. Very tasty that way. If you have never tried that, you should. Thanks for the info.
@@maxflorencia3820. Can you call it in your own local language?? That Okwuru name is Igbo language, Britain turned it to Okra, during their Slavery trade in Biafra land.
I just discovered okra last year and I fell in love with the slime as well. So this year, I planted me a crop of them . thanks for this video. now I know even more about it .
Love okra. You can cook it in so many different ways: steam, stir fry with garlic and red onions. After steaming use it with peppers, cheese, cucumber, tomatoes , avocado and olive oil dribbled over it as part of your meal. Or, as your main evening meal.
Dear Doctor Mandell Wow.,wow. My name is Moses. You made life easy. I'm type two diabetic. Then since someone told me to Google okra and come across your video ,i said wow okra is everything to me. I don't have a good day without okra. I thank you Doctor Mandell.

Thanks once again Dr Mandell. Orka grows all over the Caribbean. But don't think a lot of people knows the benefits of this lovely veg. I love it where I came from in Barbados, we cook it with cornmeal we call it cou cou. Its most delicious with a special sauce of fish or whatever meat u prefer. God bless.
Thank you Dr. Mandell. I absolutely love it stir fried with onions. Do you still get some benefits for lowering blood sugar by eating it that way, or should you drink the water? Does anyone have an okra water recipe to share? Love & blessings!
From the Caribbean (Trinidad & Tobago) we make a number of dishes with Okra, very delicious. Didn't know this vegetable has so many health benefits. Thank you.
I love and eat okra (raw). I am diabetic, months after all my tests, became normal and my PMD removed all my oral medications. I am only taking MVI and Vit D presently, that’s it, My next visit will be next month for another blood test, hopefully, before seeing my MD, my test will still be normal...😍😍👌👌🇱🇷🇨🇿
Dhyana...it may not be believable to you and everyone but I am honestly telling you, chewing raw okra taste much better than cooking it or even drink the soaking water, happily, I added another year of life days ago, thank God...
Dhyana It is very nice raw we grow a lot in Jamaica and we prepare it in many different ways. It also make a very delicious drink the men in Jamaica say it help them in a lot of ways😃
Dhyana Will you just need to try raw vegetables then. Okra is terrific raw when they're small. I prefer most vegetables raw compared to cooked. There are exceptions. I like raw cabbage. But I also like it steamed al dente with some good soy sauce on it. I'm talking about real (Japanese) soy sauce , not wheat juice you buy in the store.🤣
I’ve just started eating okra vegetables 🥗 when I got married to my husband . He taught me how to prepare it, it’s very nice 👌 from his country, it is their favourite vegetable DRC Kinshasa 👌👏🙏💕🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 thank you doctor 🙏
We love okra a lot, I’m cooking it with pilaf, how I learned from my grandma who was born in Turkey but lived in Greece, just squeeze lemon on it before cooking, it doesn’t get slimy, garlic, parsley, if you have beef, put on it delish,
Thank you Dr. Mandell for such valuable in formation on Okra. ALL YOUR VIDEOS ARE HELPFUL AND VERY INFORMATIVE and EASY to UNDERSTAND. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!
I can eat okra… but… my son has diverticulitis and this is one food he can’t have. It gets into the pockets of your colon. But he loves it. I didn’t know that this is good for the body in so many ways. Thank you!!

Dr. Alan, as a physician myself, I really applaud you for breaking away from the pharmaceutical companies and other colleagues. Actually, as an African, okra is a main part of our diet. But the reason why we don't get the full benefits is because of the way we prepare it- with all kinds of meat, oil, etc.
Pls Dr. So as an African how can cook okra to get all it benefits?
You can steam it, sauté in olive oil and go from there to build whatever dish you’re making because olive oil is just as healthy as the okra.
I agree with u as an African too we over do okra and lose the benefits. I started drinking okra water and it's amazing.
Not everyone cook okra with oil, meat etc. That is called *ila asepo*. Originally, Yorubas cook okra fresh with just a little salt and iru ( a seasoning) . Then use it along red stew to eat our solids.

You will only need approximately 10 plants to keep you supplied for the summer, and it freezes really well if you have too much. Okra loves hot weather and water regularly. If the plant does not get enough water the pod will be dry and hard. I like the little pods best of all. I grows really fast so keep it cut.
Okra is one of our main meals in Ghana, especially the for the ewe's located in the (Volta region), yet many "educated" people are leaving this blessing of ours for fries and all kind of foods that will deteriorate thier health.
I am of Indian origin and okra is staple diet for us. Gonna run to my friendly neighbourhood market to get it!
My husband is South Indian and we eat okra is alot
Thank you so much. I'm from typical rural area in Ghana 🇬🇭. My father taught me all this. And he never went to school like you. And now you confirmed it. How healthy that is okra to our body's. Thank you once again. For sharing such great knowledge with us. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY 👪.
🇬🇭🙏
Dr. Alan. I just want to thank you for all you do. God bless you always.
Thats why we African people 🇳🇬 are very healthy
You are? How do you use orka
@@renjackson3822
You can steam it or stir fry it.
I stir fry it with either shrimp, Brussels sprouts, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, you get it.
You can also make rice with it, just make sure you season the rice to bring out the flavors.
You can also cook it with things that require longer cooking time and water, like soups or stews. But the best way to make it it's stir frying it lightly seasoned, crunchy but not mushy. If you want to cut down on the slime use lemon juice. 🤗
@@LunaPaloma77 Got it! Thanks
@@LunaPaloma77 my mum makes chapatti with stir fried okra
I use to hate it, but now I'm enjoying it , since I'm learning about it's benefits. Bless you doc.

Thank you Dr. We eat Okra in Nigeria and moving to the UK, I still enjoy Okra. We regularly eat it with Eba (cassava grain), Amala (yam flour) or Iyan (Pounded Yam). The way we cook it in Nigeria is appealing as we lightly grate it, add iru spice or dry fish...yum yum!!
I love okra soup and eba.
I have okro and iru in my fridge as we speak 😂
We Nigerians get good food, we no dey board last !

My family has been eating okra for centuries. I put it in my veggie soup, too. I love it cooked with onions, garlic & tomatoes. Yummy! So good!
I cut them in half the long way, toss them in oil then shake chili powder on them then air fry. Great tasting easily replaces popcorn, potato chips, etc as a snack

Wow this sounds great because I like okra but I don't know how to cook it. And I like to cook. And I just bought an air fryer. So I think I will go tomorrow and pick some up and try to make them in the air fryer. Thank you for this I love it when people share. God bless you.
Mmmm sounds great that way. We cut them small and sun- dry for a few hours which takes away the stickiness
Really 😳

In Louisiana okra is a very popular food. My father and grandfather grew a truck patch, which is a large vegetable garden. I am retired now, 67 and my body feels starved for most of the foods I and my husband was raised on. We both have strong cravings for sugar but have cut back. We also try very hard to stay away from fast foods. We eat real foods and fruits and vegetables daily. We are what we eat I truly believe this. Speaking of okra. I purchase one bushel annually from an elderly lady in town who cooks it and stores it in freezer bags. Been doing this for years because it’s not too fun to prep, cook and store it. Had to help mom do that when I was a kid!!!!!! Boiling the small okra and pouring a little vinegar and white pepper is also delicious or pickled too.
I love this vegetable. I was raised on it. My Father was from the South and they ate it almost everyday. I love it so much and I prepare it in many ways. Thank you and God Bless you Dr. Mandell.
I love it too
How do you prepare yours?
I was born in Egypt and this was one of the main dishes my mother cooked and we moved to Australia and again my darling mother continued cooking this dish. She cooked it in a red sauce with chunks of beef and it melted in your mouth. I so miss her now that she has crossed 🙏
Smiles !! Hey I feel you man, my wonderful mom Is the reason I'm a great cook to this day, learned at around Age 7. Bless you Sir.
I am from Jordan this is a
Famous meal called bamya which is okra at first we fried a littile bit then we add lots of minced garlic then. Stir togather then add the beef like stew size then add tomatoes sauce and water if two cans of sauce then fill it half way with water, then. Let it cook on low heat for a good hour salt and pepper cumin . Add chili is optional..with steam rice . Wala.

I absolutely love Okro, that's what we call it in our part of the world. Thank you so much for this video. I learnt lots from it. I make curry and put them in soups. We eat this stuff, and loads of it almost every day. Thank you for explaining all the wonderful benefits of eating this great vegetable
Yes… are you Guyanese?
Thank you doctor for your information God bless you all 🙏
I was afraid to click!! I thought you were going to tell me okra was not good for me. I'm so glad to see that it's a good food! It is kind of a comfort food for me. It reminds me of my Big Mama (granny) & Big Daddy (grandpa). They farmed it in a small rural country town in Texas. My Big Mama was from Louisiana so she made chicken Gumbo with okra all the time!
That’s exactly what happened to me!! There is already so much I have to avoid, and I love okra…I was sure he was gonna say, “DO NOT EAT OKRA”, but I forced myself to watch it…so glad I did!!!!
Everything you said is true, four weeks now and is game changer for me🙏🙏❤❤
I ate the young okra raw when i was younger. I love to eat it whole in stew. Many of these plants came with our ancestors. We are lucky to have these vegetables available.
My Mom Grandmother & Aunt must have known this because we grew up on okra & I still eat it to this day now that you've made this video I'm going to go buy some okra I Love it my family won't eat it but the pickled okra is absolutely delicious and I don't cook it to much if I add it to my food & fried okra is the business 😋 Thank u for this piece of information Doc u are the Absolute Best 🙏✝️ 💜🙏

So very true, I recently had a conversation with a friend, talking about our grandmother that raised us. How they did not have a degree. Not even a high school diploma. Yet they were smart, wise.

I love okra I eat them raw only from my garden in Jamaica, when I came and do my H1c test it went down from the last time I had it done,
Okra has been our favourite soup in our yoruba land. It has a lot of medicinal benefits for our system as well as for our hair.
You eat it rawwww...wow
Put okra in a pit of water , boil it , strain it, then mix it with sweet condensed milk, a bit of spice , and that’s okra juice , you can add Guinness to it if you want to.
Open the belly of the fish , and stuff it with okra , carrots , cabbage, bell peppers, thyme , fish seasoning and spinach if you want , wrap the fish in foil , place it on your barbecue , or put it in your oven , but first put a little water in a oven dish , then put the wrapped up fish in the water , put in oven and steam , oh put some butter in the fish belly with the stuttering, and some butter on top of the fish, then wrap in foil , place it in the oven dish .
Put lots of okra in your pot of fish soup aswell
Steam fish on the cooker , with lots of okra , some seasoning, thyme , carrots , any vegetable you like , potatoes, excelsior crackers , close that pot , few mins , and you will have a lovely steamed fish meal 🥘
I eat it raw too.. wondering none of you eat it raw! In my SALADS with raw baby okra.. yummy 😋..thanks for all informations..👍👍👍😇💕😋
thank you Dr. Mandell. I intend to start an intense OKRA program today. i have some nice green young OKRA in the fridge.in addition i planted some OKRA seeds and the trees are growing well.
Thank you for talking about okra. I love it any way it's prepared. Especially with brown rice and zesty tomatoes. I wasn't aware how healthy it is. 👍
Dr. Allen, It',s proving that exact meaning of a kindness, as a Doctor to the miserable patients, who knows nothing about the medical treatments. We really appreciate your concern , realizing the gap between the Doctor and a patient and giving this kind of presentation. Such Doctors are called our living gods. I take this opportunity to thank the entire society of the medical field for their generous contribution. Thank you so much once again. Damitha de Silva.
Been a Greek .my mother still makes this dish with other vegetables tomatoes onions beans and spices with chicken as a stew .one of my favourite dish.
We love okra in Ghana .
We use it in soups and you can prepare stew with it. You can fry it too.
Very delicious! I must confess though that I didn't know about the health benefits till today.

Okra, Shrimp and Tomatoes with Andouille Sausage over rice is one of my favorite recipes. Everyone, even those that think that they hate okra even love it! I also put it in my Gumbo. The secret to cooking Okra is to NOT over manipulate it because then it becomes too slimy!
Right! I like eating it whole, not chopped up.
Yes, use to cook it just that way using Hillshire Polish sausage- now I cook it with a little olive oil to get rid of some of the slim, shredded chicken breast, chopped garlic, sliced polish sausage, add water and Touch of Taste chicken bouillon simmer keeping liquid content high-then pour over rice! Delicious! Salt & Pepper to taste. Another form of quick gumbo.
I have grown to know my people and country 🇳🇬 that we eat Okra since time immemorial and we make all sorts of delicacies from Okra,we grow/plant it all year long,it’s one of God’s Very Beautiful Creations for Okra is great in every nutrients 🤍🙏🏿💯
Thanks Dr Mandela for throwing more light on Okra 🫶🏿👏🏿🙌🏿
Hi Dr.Alan,thank you so much for promoting Okra, I'm from India and bhendi (okra)as it's called in Hindi is a part of the Indian vegetarian diet.
We can add either yoghurt, cumin powder or lime juice to get rid of that sticky stuff.
Sending you so much love and light.God Bless ❤️❤️

I love okra thanks to my dad and grand parents as a child growing up picking okra from the garden I never forget grand ma warned me that it will make you itch if you touch it with your bare hands but that didn’t stop me from cleaning cutting and helping out in the kitchen cooking I didn’t know at the time how healthy it was thanks for the video very interesting ❤️♥️♥️👍
I grew up on okra. Picked it fresh from the garden. Love it cooked in fish curry.
Indians knew about the value of Okra for centuries. So I'm glad that people are extolling the virtues of this phenomenal vegetable.
Okra is very good for any one who has PROSTATE Problem.
I've recently been diagnosed as Pre-diabetic, and my nephew recommended okra water. In addition to drinking the water for the past two weeks, I save the okra for making an okra/shrimp dish. Thank you Dr. Mandell for your very comprehensive summation of okra benefits.

We plant a big crop of okra every year and freeze what we can't eat. We pickle it, put it in stews and soups and we slice it up in a skillet and cook in butter, then scramble some eggs in it. Very tasty that way. If you have never tried that, you should. Thanks for the info.

Will you just need to try raw vegetables then. Okra is terrific raw when they're small. I prefer most vegetables raw compared to cooked. There are exceptions. I like raw cabbage. But I also like it steamed al dente with some good soy sauce on it. I'm talking about real (Japanese) soy sauce , not wheat juice you buy in the store.🤣
Thank you Dr for given us the insight of okra we eat that a lot but didn't know all these ,now. I know Thanks and God bless.
Love your advice on our health. Is so good to hear someone that believes in something natural instead of prescription drugs
