Moench] belongs to family Malvaceae is also known as lady finger, gumbo, or bhindi, is an important vegetable crop of the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The crop can be grown throughout the year and commonly cultivated in Kharif and summer season. It is native of tropical Africa. Okra is a multipurpose crop valued for its tender and delicious pods. In West Africa, leaves, buds, and flowers of okra are also consumed. Okra is a very good source of dietary fibre, magnesium, manganese, potassium, vitamin K, vitamin C (30mg/100g), B1, and B6, and folate (1.5mg/100g). Studies have indicated that okra is also rich in bioactive components, such as flavonoids, especially quercetin and phytosterols. The okra seed oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid, which is essential for human nutrition. Okra dry seeds contain 18–20% oil and 20–23% crude protein. Okra is beneficial for health by benefiting in diabetes and cancers (Aykroyd, 1963). | |
