New season vegetables IQF Frozen Okra Cut Featured Image

Short Description:

Okra not only contains calcium equivalent to fresh milk, but also has a calcium absorption rate of 50-60%, which is twice that of milk, so it is an ideal source of calcium. Okra mucilage contains water-soluble pectin and mucin, which can reduce the body’s absorption of sugar, reduce the body’s demand for insulin, inhibit the absorption of cholesterol, improve blood lipids, and eliminate toxins. In addition, okra also contains carotenoids, which can promote the normal secretion and action of insulin to balance blood sugar levels.

Product Description

Frozen Okra is low in calories but packed full of nutrients. The vitamin C in okra helps support healthy immune function. Okra is also rich in vitamin K, which helps your body clot blood. Some of the other health benefits of okra include:

Fight Cancer: Okra contains antioxidants called polyphenols, including vitamins A and C. It also contains a protein called lectin which may inhibit cancer cell growth in humans.
Support Heart and Brain Health: The antioxidants in okra may also benefit your brain by reducing brain inflammation. Mucilage —a thick, gel-like substance found in okra—can bind with cholesterol during digestion so it is passed from the body.
Control Blood Sugar: Various studies have shown okra may help control blood sugar levels.
Frozen Okra is rich in vitamins A and C, as well as antioxidants that help reduce the risk of serious health conditions like cancer, diabetes, stroke, and heart disease.

Frozen Vegetables Advantage:

In some cases, frozen vegetables may be more nutritious than fresh ones that have been shipped over long distances. The latter is typically picked before ripening, which means that no matter how good the vegetables look, they’re likely to short-change you nutritionally. For example, fresh spinach loses about half the folate it contains after eight days. Vitamin and mineral content are also likely to diminish if produce is exposed to too much heat and light enroute to your supermarket.
The advantage of frozen fruits and vegetables is that they usually are picked when they’re ripe, and then blanched in hot water to kill bacteria and stop enzyme activity that can spoil food. Then they’re flash frozen, which tends to preserve nutrients.
