What: The “Lady Finger” vegetable that is sticky on the inside. Really common in Asian countries like India and Malaysia.
Why: A lectin blocker. Okras contain raw polysaccharide (RPS), a compound that binds to lectin and prevents them from harming your gut. Okra seeds are also rich in antioxidants, including phenolic compounds that are known to reduce risk of cancer.
Where: At your local supermarket, but if you can’t find it, find it here!
