Why okra has mucus

In fact, this kind of viscous liquid is one of the nutritious essences of okra. It is rich in soluble dietary fiber such as gum, acacia, and hydroxymethyl cellulose. When these soluble fibers are taken with meals, they not only combine with fatty acids, reduce fat absorption, and lower cholesterol; they also swell with water, increase the volume, thereby prolonging the residence time of food in the stomach, and slowing the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates. To prevent excessive rise of blood sugar after meals. Therefore, when cooking okra, do not wash these healthy mucous in advance in order to have a beautiful appearance.
