@@patsaunders502 You eat it with anything? What's funny is that, that okra I used in the video, I ate it that evening. I added a little pinch of salt, microwaved it and guess what, I added it to my beans and potato casserole that evening and it worked. Looked a bit odd but I enjoyed it
Thanks Dr. Joe for the excellent presentation. You can also wash a few Okra and cut them in two and soaked them in a glass of water overnight and drink the slimy water, remember to take the pieces out before drinking the water. May I say that you forgot to mention Jute Leaves, Called Ewedu in Western Nigeria, and is considered as the top slimy vegetable leaves, and it is very good at lowering LDL, the bad cholesterol, also water leaves and watercress are right up there with the mix. Glory Be To God who made all things well, Amen.
1.53 p.m. In Trinidad and Tobago we regularly use both Okra and Aubergine. We pronounce the first "ochro" and it's used in a kind of thick soup called calalloo. This is made with dasheen (taro) leaves, lots of ochroes and other seasonings. We also make ochro rice - really rice steamed with ochroes and seasonings. Aubergine is called "melongene" here. It's added to stewed beef or roasted with garlic etc. to make a "bhaigan or melongene choka".
You did not show how to use the slimy chia seed. In Ghana we used garden to make stew. We boiled it and mash it and add it to fish stew. We use okro to make soup or stew.
Dr. Joe, I stir-fry the Okra with onions, lots of garlic, red and green peppers, a little bit of cod fish or broad beans in coconut oil. Mmm-mmm-mmm delicious 😋
I just stir fry okra add onions; green pepper ; spinach ; cayenne pepper and a bit of tumeric powder; garlic and add bitten eggs ..enjoy it as your breakfast... Very healthy.
-okra -chia seeds ( ground) -eggplants (yum) Cut roast, cut more put in blender with tahini, add lime juice, salt, cumin, oregano -yum again 🎉thank you
What is recommended for each day? How much should I eat per day of EACH one - one cup or less? How OFTEN, one time each day? Also, do u eat ALL three, or the choice of just one each day?
@@drjoetvMD I am engaging you in a little mystery regarding my numbers..

I know you can help. Been listening and watching and sharing your videos because I am convinced you are conversant with the matter.. will be ordering book end of month ..
Thank you for revealing all 3 of these foods. Okra is my fav. I need to use chia seeds in more recipes and appreciate the Baba Ghanoush eggplant recipe. By the way, I like to cook Okra Gumbo by sauteing it with onions, bell pepper, garlic, tomatoes, add tomato paste or sauce.
Saute onions, fresh chilies, garlic...flavor the oil (1 tablespoon works). Add okra cut in small rounds...add tomatoes and other seasonings to your liking. This is yummy as a side to rice or on toast/flatbreads. Same can be done with eggplant. Thanks Dr. Joe.
Thanks Dr Joe for this wonderful information. We add okra to our green veggie, steam, add peanut butter and eat with sweet potatoes. As for aubergine, it’s steamed or roasted then chia seeds we soak and add to smoothie or millet porridge. Every meal is just simple but nutritious. Keep up your good work. Thanks. God bless
I boil the okra and drink the water and I then eat the orka as a side dish. Another way to use okra you can put it in the blender with a bit of lemon and drink it daily. You can also satee the okra with tomatoes. Onion, garlic, green bell pepper and black pepper. Satee it in a skillet pan with a bit of olive oil and eat it with your food.
Thank you Dr. Joe, I used okra on soup as well as combining it with salted fish (salt boiled off) eaten with boiled banana, pumpkin or dumplin or just by itself as vegetable.
This is very true.i got rid of my high cholesterol by drinking chia seeds with okra pieces in my water everyday.also enjoy eating the eggplant.i steam it with natural coconut milk n tumeric! Yes n saltfish too!
Thank you. My husband and I are age mid 70's and he prepares soup with okra, tomatoes, frozen mixed veggies, shrimp, and beef cubes, seasoned to taste, over rice. It's delicious. He also enjoys eggplant. Not sure how he prepares it. I add ground Chia Seeds blueberries, apple and banana to our morning steel cut oatmeal. Thank God, we are healthy.
Hi Dr. Joe. In Trinidad we call okra "okro pronounced ...Oh-crow." I always have trees growing in my garden. I normally pick about 3, slice them. Soak overnight in water, blend in the magic bullet next morning and drink it. I use chia seeds also. I add them to my overnight steel cut oats. In Trinidad we call egg plant "melongene." I also have it growing. Thanks for sharing. I soak melongene slices in water and drink it. I try to use my veggies raw because I use safe and organic additives.
I slit 3 raw okra, put it in a half litre mug ( or beer stein of same quantity) pour boiling water over it, keep it overnight and first thing in the morning I drink the water which has a lot of the slimy stuff from the okra. Tgen I eat all the raw okra. Wait 30 - 45minutes before breakfast.
Okra fried with onio s and also mixed with blakeye peas and Butterbeans soup...this is estable...thank you Doctor Joe I enjoy your videos ...also blood pressure videos!!! I'm 77yrs and getting off the Statin killers...ok like is Serious!!
Thanks Dr Joe for this valuable and affordable vegetables and seeds to keep our bodies free from bad cholesterol. I'm awed at the new recipe of eggplant preparations-roasting most healthy. Another way is to steam the eggplant and add peanut butter, tomatoes and onions and a little green pepper.
Thank you Dr Joe for encouraging me to use my chia seeds. I will prefer using it with oats. I have okro planted at my backyard, I ve them almost two to three days as soup. I ve taken the one soaked in water before, is just that am not comfortable with the slime nature when it's not warm.
Thank you,Dr. Joe. I was told last Thursday that by my doctor that my blood sugar is elevated,and also my cholesterol, hence that's why I asked the question question.
Dr Joe , thanks for sharing your knowledge with us . In addition to eating okro soup , I soak my chopped okro in cold water 💦, refrigerate to drink the slimy water everyday 😊. I add 2 teaspoons of chia seeds to my oats every morning , it's so yummy 😋 😅
I love okra and egg plants Dr Joe, my mother use to cook them vegetables very often with onions and a little of tomato paste and garlic so I carried out her legacy and fed my family as well. I also use chia seeds in a lot of my meals. I enjoy watching your videos 🥰
Thank you for the recipes to reduce cholesterol levels. These drugs we take everyday for cholesterol reduction can't be good for us in the long run. God bless you.
Hi Dr. Joe! I’m from the Philippines a tropical country we grow lots of okras here and it is one of the veggies we have in our meal. We cook okra just on steam not over cooked but a little of crunchiness. Dip in lemon juice with pinch of salt. 😊
I steam it for just a minute or so and eat it as a crunchy vegetable. I also put avacado oil w/ salt & pepper and cook it very fast on a hot grill. The secret is to keep it nice and crunchy, so it's not slimy.
I was in the middle of cooking my dinner when I saw your video again so I decided to have a little butchers and to my surprise it was the same thing I had on my kitchen worktop waiting to be diced. so, I had a little dance to my bad singing "I should be so lucky". Imagine doing the right thing cluelessly. You're blessed Doc and so am I. Thanks a million,
Thank you. I really want to cut down on statin drug, if not eliminate it. I love your lessons because you are teaching us how to use foods, not selling a “new magic pill” after a 30 min promotion. celery is inexpensive, I’d drink it everyday to get rid of even 1 of my BP meds..
My name is shanta ...from Guyana....wast side...I use eggplants in many different ways...I use ochro..as we called it..I cut the ochre into pieces ..in a pan with olive oil...add chopped garlic, onions and pepper...fry it up...eat with anything...I also put in soup, cooked beans rice and coconut milk...some meat and add the ochro... I cooked curry ochro...and many more...thank you so much ...
Thanks for this Doc this video is so fitting my mom wanted natural cholesterol remedy as the tablets seems to be giving her some adverse reactions.....another way to consume okra is by making the juice chop up the okra boil it then blend both the water and peices of okra after cool with almond milk unsweetened spiced up with vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon.
Hi Dr Joe. From a small child my parents have been using okra in our diet. I am following the tradition. I regularly prepare okra sauce to eat with coucou, (a traditional dish here in Barbados) or just to have as a side dish. The okra is cooked up with or without salted cod, onions, thyme, black pepper, tomatoes, sweet pepper and a dash of tumeric or curry powder. If you use the salted cod it should be boiled separately to take away most of the salt. If not, add salt to taste to the sauce. The okras and the cod should be smashed to produce a thick sauce.
Hello Dr. Joe. Thank you for this video. I was wondering if nopal cactus or nopalitos can help lower cholesterol since is also very slimy. What do you think? Thank you
Thank You Dr Joe. The Animation was great, helped explain the information clearly as we watched. Many people are Visual learners so aminations help clarify the Audio excellently. Very Grateful 🙏🏻🙋🏻♀️🇦🇺
Thank you Dr. Joe for another excellent program. Really appreciate how you incorporated the natural foods that can be easily purchased at the grocery store or the farmers market to lower cholesterol and take care of our health.❤❤❤❤
I cant eat chia seeds. Bought them once. Soaked them. They looked like tadpoles still in their egg sacks😫threw the whole thing away. In asia where i live we have an abundance of fresh food which i prefer. Quinoa and chia seeds are easily available in stores but not so popular. We have several seeds and grain we use. I have high cholesterol and Dr advised OATS and barley in my diet. Helps. .
Thanks for the info! Okra is one of my favorite vegetables! I’m growing different varieties in my garden right now. I’ve roasted some in the oven with seasonings and ate it like popcorn, cut up with and cooked with collard greens as well as with black eye peas, and cut up and cooked by itself. I’ve even eaten it raw right off of the plant, and it’s pretty good that way also!
Thanks Dr now I know why I got that good results back last week I love okra I just boil and eat it Jamaicans don’t like their okra crushed we use it in soup steam fish salt fish and more, thanks for the info I will eat more.
I'm glad the aubergine came out at the end. I can't deal with the sliminess of chia seeds or okra, but I love aubergine. Aubergine coated in Harissa paste and roasted in olive oil is delicious. Also, have you come across Jessie Inchauspé? She's been on many podcasts lately, and she advocates eating vegetables first in a meal to provide a mucus lining to the small intestine, slowing down the absorption of glucose and lowering blood glucose spikes. It sounds like a similar idea to this. I have started to do this while wearing a continuous glucose monitor, and the effect on my blood glucose levels has been dramatic. My postprandial glucose level more than halves eating this way.
@@drjoetvMD I've found a few ideas on TH-cam for reducing the sliminess, such as adding lemon juice and cooking on a high heat near the end that I will try. Hopefully, I will come to love it eventually.
I grow Okra and I just go through the garden and eat it raw off the plant..........whole different ball game........no slim just crunchy....nice taste kind of mild .
Am immensely grateful dr. Joe as l watched this simple n clear video. What makes this video really interesting is the fact that these simple foods are very easy to get. Really appreciate doctor joe
Wow! What a coincidence? I am glad watching this video now. My husband and I, usually drink the slimy okra twice in a week. I will slice good amount of okra in the evening, place it in a clean medium jug then leave it overnight . So, with an empty stomach early in the morning, I will then sieve it. We then gulp one full cup each. Hmmm! It's not easy taking it shaa! But I had to just bcos of the health benefits of it. Doc. God bless sir. I have just subscribed.
I use okra in soups nd also in vegetable yam quite delicious😋. Prefer using grinded chia seeds which i grind, store in jar nd keep in the fridge~ always have it with oat milk so yummy😋🤤 Nice one Dr Joe😊🌟
@@drjoetvMD yes Dr Joe, yam with spinach or pumpkin leaves i like adding okra to it, it helps to hold the yam nd vegetable together+ addition yumminess!!
Thanks for this... I just stumbled on Ur videos and boom! U got a new subscriber. I love the contents, the way u go straight to the point and clear explanations 👌👌
Thank you for always giving great health information I am an Okro soup lover but now I will add Chia see because my cousin has always told me that blends her chia seeds dry to make fufu, but I never paid any attention to her recipe😅, she doesn't eat garri or Amala. Now imagine the combo, okro soup with Chia Fufu👍. Im definitely trying this so I can say bye bye to Atorvastatin
Yeah we cook okra in a stew. First I wash the okra and dry them with paper towel. Then It is chopped thinly. Next I put a tablespoon of coconut oil in a frying pan or pot and allow it to get warm. Add chopped onions in the warmed oil. Allow to simmer then add the chopped okra in the pan. Stir fry the okra from time to time. Add garlic salt and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper and any other seasoning of your choice Then stir fry for maybe 5 more mins or more depending on your preference. Once its cooked to your likeness the stew is ready to serve. I prefer mine crunchy so I cook it for a short time. Some people prefer it softer but I try not to over cook it
I take Okra and clean and then crop the okra in 3 pieces times and put it in a jar with water and leave them for 24 hours and and pour liquid into a jar drink from it every day and then save the okra. Do use one more time and then you could either cook your Okra or throw them out, but that helps me with my cholesterol.
Okra - 1. Steam or boil, then drizzle hot garlic or onion oil on it 2. Omelette 3. Veggie or fish curries 4. Stuffed with fish or pork or beef or chicken paste, then fried
Thanks u dr. Joe for a wonderful presentation on how to treat cholesterol, talking about okra ilove eating okra I use okra in my salad by slicing up the okra very thin
In Antigua and Barbuda we use Okra and Spinach, eddoe leaves and eggplant to make a very nutritious meal on Saturday and on Sunday morning for breakfast.Its mashed together well and very slimy. Tits from the Ewedu plant that is very popular in Nigeria. It is also our national weed
In the Bahamas we use Okra also in our Peas & Rice, we cook it down with our onions before we add in the peas and the water then the rice. The Rice is moist and tasty.
Okra my favorite, I cook these at least 3 times a week, in many different ways.if I want it very slammed I boil some water then I pour a very thin sliced okra, a pinch of baking soda some salt, then I keep staring until a nice. Consistency the I through in I two handful of baby spinach . Let boil little more and is ready to eat. If I want them less slamming I cut them by half lengthwise , I sprinkle some powdered garlic, black paper, sprinkle of powdered chill, a spoon of vinager,a spoon of olive oil,I mix it all, I then on a tray I put a baking paper, then pour the okra and take to oven to roast at 350 degrees if gas. Ops- if you like red paper like me cut them lengthwise and mix it with okra when marinating then roasted them together. Bon appetite. Let me know how do you like it🙏🙏💃🏼
Thank you Dr. Joe. I eat Okro a lot, I love it so much. The egg plant is very good with yam. And little pepper…..yumm yumm. Please, I don’t know Ciao seed. How can one get it? Thanks for your presentation. Gif bless you.
Thanks Dr Joe for this information. I do eat okra a lot until I read that it interferes with my diabetic medication- metformin. So I stopped eating it. Lately I went for my routine medicals and was told my cholesterol levels are high. I really don’t know what to do. I now eat 2tbsp of chia seeds daily. Please I need help as I don’t want to be placed on cholesterol medication. Thanks.
I think issues like this now belong to the Question & Answer Bank platform, Mary. Please go ask your question over there. Link here for you five.me/drjoemd
Hello Dr. How, thanks for sharing. I love okra; these are other ways I use okra, steamed as aside veggie, seasoned add breadcrumbs & baked, also with sliced red onions & garlic,seasoned dizzled with olive oil & baked, also coated with cornmeal, seasoned & fried., All using fresh okra. I seasoned with salt, black/white peppers, dried herbs, paprika, ginger powder, nutmeg ( just to name a few, creating a blend I want to use on a particular dish or time) I use okra & eggplants / aubergine regularly.

I regularly prepare okra sauce to eat with coucou, (a traditional dish here in Barbados) or just to have as a side dish. The okra is cooked up with or without salted cod, onions, thyme, black pepper, tomatoes, sweet pepper and a dash of tumeric or curry powder. If you use the salted cod it should be boiled separately to take away most of the salt. If not, add salt to taste to the sauce. The okras and the cod should be smashed to produce a thick sauce.
Thank you for your contribution
Love it
Thank doc I will try it.
Thank you Doc! You just hit the nail on the head. No long speech like other doctors.🇯🇲
You're welcome
Hello Dr. Joe. Thank you for this video.
I was wondering if nopal cactus or nopalitos can help lower cholesterol since is also very slimy. What do you think?
Thank you
It may. I haven't explored that as cactus is not available around me at all
Thank you very much for all your lessons and health tips that can save lives
You are welcome
Thank You Dr Joe. The Animation was great, helped explain the information clearly as we watched. Many people are Visual learners so aminations help clarify the Audio excellently. Very Grateful 🙏🏻🙋🏻♀️🇦🇺
Glad it was helpful!
Thank You so much Dr Joe
You're welcome
Thank you Dr. Joe for another excellent program. Really appreciate how you incorporated the natural foods that can be easily purchased at the grocery store or the farmers market to lower cholesterol and take care of our health.❤❤❤❤
Most welcome, Pamela
What
I cant eat chia seeds. Bought them once. Soaked them. They looked like tadpoles still in their egg sacks😫threw the whole thing away. In asia where i live we have an abundance of fresh food which i prefer. Quinoa and chia seeds are easily available in stores but not so popular. We have several seeds and grain we use. I have high cholesterol and Dr advised OATS and barley in my diet. Helps. .
Wonderful, we eat but don’t really know the benefit as to eat more of it, now that you shed more light on it, thanks doctor. GB
You're welcome
Thanks doc! You are a life saver
You're welcome
Hi Dr. Joe you can make a stirfry with okra onion and some chillie flakes. Add the okra at last for a minute or 2. Its very tasty. 😊
I would imagine it would be tasty. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing Dr. Joe
My pleasure!
Great Information!
Now I want Louisiana Gumbo with Okra
Thank you
Thanks for the info! Okra is one of my favorite vegetables! I’m growing different varieties in my garden right now. I’ve roasted some in the oven with seasonings and ate it like popcorn, cut up with and cooked with collard greens as well as with black eye peas, and cut up and cooked by itself. I’ve even eaten it raw right off of the plant, and it’s pretty good that way also!
Yes, some people like you have been telling me about eating it raw. I've never done that but it's good to know
Dr Joe thanks so much,,i will start immediately
You're welcome
Thanks Dr. Joe. I always appreciate you, for the way you present your illustrations in a very simple way without any logistics.
You're welcome
Thanks Dr now I know why I got that good results back last week I love okra I just boil and eat it Jamaicans don’t like their okra crushed we use it in soup steam fish salt fish and more, thanks for the info I will eat more.
You are so welcome
I'm glad the aubergine came out at the end. I can't deal with the sliminess of chia seeds or okra, but I love aubergine. Aubergine coated in Harissa paste and roasted in olive oil is delicious. Also, have you come across Jessie Inchauspé? She's been on many podcasts lately, and she advocates eating vegetables first in a meal to provide a mucus lining to the small intestine, slowing down the absorption of glucose and lowering blood glucose spikes. It sounds like a similar idea to this. I have started to do this while wearing a continuous glucose monitor, and the effect on my blood glucose levels has been dramatic. My postprandial glucose level more than halves eating this way.
Thank you, Sue, for your contribution. But please like okra please. Give it a try again...one more time
@@drjoetvMD I've found a few ideas on TH-cam for reducing the sliminess, such as adding lemon juice and cooking on a high heat near the end that I will try. Hopefully, I will come to love it eventually.
I can deal with the chia seeds, but I just can't swallow the okra. I'm not too crazy about eggplant, but I should be able to find some good recipes.
I grow Okra and I just go through the garden and eat it raw off the plant..........whole different ball game........no slim just crunchy....nice taste kind of mild .
@@chucksanders5515 I do grow my own veg, but I'm not sure okra will grow in the UK. I will look into it because that would be ideal for me.
Great video ! Growing I hated okra. I'm going to try eating with my soup . Thanks for sharing
You're welcome, Kim
Great video! I just finished reading your book and am now implementing your recommendations. Just finished doing the nitrate oxide dump.
Awesome. Great to hear that, Ray

Thank you, Geraldine
Am immensely grateful dr. Joe as l watched this simple n clear video. What makes this video really interesting is the fact that these simple foods are very easy to get. Really appreciate doctor joe
You're welcome
Thank you Dr Joe, great information can’t wait to try these foods.
You're welcome, Rosie
Wow! What a coincidence? I am glad watching this video now. My husband and I, usually drink the slimy okra twice in a week. I will slice good amount of okra in the evening, place it in a clean medium jug then leave it overnight . So, with an empty stomach early in the morning, I will then sieve it. We then gulp one full cup each. Hmmm! It's not easy taking it shaa! But I had to just bcos of the health benefits of it. Doc. God bless sir. I have just subscribed.
Apparently the use of this technique of yours is quite popular. I prefer it cooked though
@@drjoetvMDMe too! Cook okra , but to each his own.
Thanks for the info Dr. Joe. Learnt a lot. I use Okra when cooking fish & chicken. I place it in the pot last so it cooks with the gravy.
Thank you for your contribution
Doc please what of yoghurt? Is it safe to be taking?
You may want to avoid it initially but if you really want to use it, make sure it is Greek yogurt and low fat
I use okra in soups nd also in vegetable yam quite delicious😋. Prefer using grinded chia seeds which i grind, store in jar nd keep in the fridge~ always have it with oat milk so yummy😋🤤 Nice one Dr Joe😊🌟
What do you mean by using it in vegetable yam, Diny? Or is that a typo?
@@drjoetvMD yes Dr Joe, yam with spinach or pumpkin leaves i like adding okra to it, it helps to hold the yam nd vegetable together+ addition yumminess!!
@@dinydgeraldine3254 Yes, it sounds yummy
Do we cook the okra or eat raw?
@@AderemiAriyo-qq9iv Preferably cooked but don't cook it to death. Anything more than 5 minutes is excessive
Quick and to the point and also very important. Thank-you.
You're welcome
Okra
Chia seeds
Egg plant

Can someone with glaucoma eat eggs
@@drjoetvMD can someone with glaucoma eat eggs
Yes but not if they are struggling with cholesterol@@HelenSiaw
Wow nice presentation l also soak okro in warm water overnight drink the water and use the okro for stew with aubergine
Good plan
Thank you for always giving great health information I am an Okro soup lover but now I will add Chia see because my cousin has always told me that blends her chia seeds dry to make fufu, but I never paid any attention to her recipe😅, she doesn't eat garri or Amala. Now imagine the combo, okro soup with Chia Fufu👍. Im definitely trying this so I can say bye bye to Atorvastatin
Chia fu fu. Wow! That's a new one on me
@Dr Joe TV I just shared this video with her too. Thanks for all you do
Yeah we cook okra in a stew. First I wash the okra and dry them with paper towel. Then It is chopped thinly. Next I put a tablespoon of coconut oil in a frying pan or pot and allow it to get warm. Add chopped onions in the warmed oil. Allow to simmer then add the chopped okra in the pan. Stir fry the okra from time to time. Add garlic salt and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper and any other seasoning of your choice Then stir fry for maybe 5 more mins or more depending on your preference. Once its cooked to your likeness the stew is ready to serve.
I prefer mine crunchy so I cook it for a short time. Some people prefer it softer but I try not to over cook it
Thank you sharing that
I take Okra and clean and then crop the okra in 3 pieces times and put it in a jar with water and leave them for 24 hours and and pour liquid into a jar drink from it every day and then save the okra. Do use one more time and then you could either cook your Okra or throw them out, but that helps me with my cholesterol.
Okay. Thank you for your contribution
Pls how do you prepare the okra for lowering cholesterol
Thank you Dr Joe for the presentation
You're welcome
Okra -
1. Steam or boil, then drizzle hot garlic or onion oil on it
2. Omelette
3. Veggie or fish curries
4. Stuffed with fish or pork or beef or chicken paste, then fried
Thank you
Thanks u dr. Joe for a wonderful presentation on how to treat cholesterol, talking about okra ilove eating okra I use okra in my salad by slicing up the okra very thin
You're welcome
Thank you 🙏 Dr Joe with another hit video as always 😊, as for me I’m still enjoying Chia seeds blended with oat milk 🥛. 😊 🫡. Enjoy your weekend.
Awesome
Please, do you soak the chia seed before blending with oath milk?
Dr. Joe, I lightly simmer okra rounds with onions in extra virgin olive oil and serve as a sauce to rice or as a side dish to any other food.
Awesome to hear that
In Antigua and Barbuda we use Okra and Spinach, eddoe leaves and eggplant to make a very nutritious meal on Saturday and on Sunday morning for breakfast.Its mashed together well and very slimy. Tits from the Ewedu plant that is very popular in Nigeria. It is also our national weed
Awesome. Good to know
In the Bahamas we use Okra also in our Peas & Rice, we cook it down with our onions before we add in the peas and the water then the rice. The Rice is moist and tasty.
Thank you for sharing! This will help me a lot to lower my cholesterol. 👍
Most welcome
I like my okra sautéed with onions.
Nice to hear
I saute okra with onions , peppers, tomatoes and have with my meal,also in Jamaica, they soak in water and drink, also steam with fish, and in soup.
Nice to know those recipes
Okra my favorite, I cook these at least 3 times a week, in many different ways.if I want it very slammed I boil some water then I pour a very thin sliced okra, a pinch of baking soda some salt, then I keep staring until a nice. Consistency the I through in I two handful of baby spinach . Let boil little more and is ready to eat. If I want them less slamming I cut them by half lengthwise , I sprinkle some powdered garlic, black paper, sprinkle of powdered chill, a spoon of vinager,a spoon of olive oil,I mix it all, I then on a tray I put a baking paper, then pour the okra and take to oven to roast at 350 degrees if gas. Ops- if you like red paper like me cut them lengthwise and mix it with okra when marinating then roasted them together. Bon appetite. Let me know how do you like it🙏🙏💃🏼
Nice!
Thank you for all this health benefits in the foods we should eat. Its very informative i eat all you have recommended thanks again Dr Joe .
You're welcome
Thank you Dr. Joe.
I eat Okro a lot, I love it so much. The egg plant is very good with yam. And little pepper…..yumm yumm.
Please, I don’t know Ciao seed. How can one get it?
Thanks for your presentation. Gif bless you.
Search online for it. You can find it on Amazon
Thanks Dr Joe for this information. I do eat okra a lot until I read that it interferes with my diabetic medication- metformin. So I stopped eating it. Lately I went for my routine medicals and was told my cholesterol levels are high. I really don’t know what to do. I now eat 2tbsp of chia seeds daily. Please I need help as I don’t want to be placed on cholesterol medication. Thanks.
I think issues like this now belong to the Question & Answer Bank platform, Mary. Please go ask your question over there. Link here for you five.me/drjoemd
Thank you for explaining your presentation to the world. I drink okra water each morning. But I don't have cholesterol
Thank you
Well done Dr. Joe. Just the information I needed like yesterday. 🙏
Thank you
Thank you Dr Joe for not hiding your recipes. You are a great gift to this generation. I will intensify on the eating of these three foods.
I saute it with onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes. I season it well and eat it with quinoa.
Nice one
Sliced eggplants added to your water is a very good way to reduce cholesterol levels also.
Okay, thank you
Is it cooked sliced eggplant to put in the water
Hello Dr. How, thanks for sharing. I love okra; these are other ways I use okra, steamed as aside veggie, seasoned add breadcrumbs & baked, also with sliced red onions & garlic,seasoned dizzled with olive oil & baked, also coated with cornmeal, seasoned & fried., All using fresh okra. I seasoned with salt, black/white peppers, dried herbs, paprika, ginger powder, nutmeg ( just to name a few, creating a blend I want to use on a particular dish or time) I use okra & eggplants / aubergine regularly.
Nice to hear that, Sophie
You can steam it like broccoli and eat it. Very good
Awesome
