Okra, boiled in unsalted water

Okra is a vegetable with edible pods. The figures here describe okra with the tops and tails removed, boiled in unsalted water. It provides fibre, small amounts of carbohydrate and protein, and several vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, it contains 3.1g of fibre, 16mg of vitamin C, 93mg of calcium and 0.01g of salt.

Fibre supports normal bowel function, while vitamin C helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Calcium is needed for the maintenance of bones and teeth. The salt content shown reflects preparation without added salt; adding salt or salty sauces would change this. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
