Thanks so much for sharing about okra and its benefits. As a Cuban, I truly appreciate you shedding light on a plant that's such a staple in our cuisine. I had commented about its use in Cuba, but your perspective really opened my eyes to its medicinal properties—something we don’t talk about much here. Thanks to your info, I’m definitely going to start recommending it more for its health benefits too.
