EKLEKTI SODEIA, Okra, Extra Quality, Frozen, (Individyally Quick Frozen), 1000g (Best before 04/01/2028)

EKLEKTI SODEIA, OKRA, High-Quality IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) okra consists of fresh, hand-picked pods that are blanched and rapidly flash-frozen to lock in their vibrant green color, tender texture, and natural nutrients.

• Maximum Nutrient Retention: Because the okra is flash-frozen at peak ripeness right after harvest, it locks in 90% to 95% of its natural vitamins and minerals. Conversely, fresh okra shipped over long distances can lose up to 30% of its nutrients by the time it reaches the grocery shelf.
• Completely free of clumping and preservatives, it offers unmatched convenience and year-round availability for culinary applications.
• Each pod or slice is frozen individually to prevent ice crystal formation, ensuring a free-flowing, non-sticky product that is easy to portion.
• Contains no additives or artificial preservatives. The IQF thermal process naturally completely halts microbial growth and spoilage, meaning the product stays perfectly fresh for months with zero chemical preservatives.
• Retains high levels of dietary fiber, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, and folic acid.
• Pre-washed and trimmed. Ready to use directly from the freezer without the need for thawing.

• Low in Calories, High in Nutrients: Okra is an exceptionally nutrient-dense food, providing only about 33 calories per cup while delivering a rich supply of fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
• Supports Healthy Cholesterol Levels: Okra contains a thick, gel-like substance called mucilage. During digestion, this soluble fiber binds to excess cholesterol in your digestive tract, forcing your body to excrete it rather than absorbing it into your bloodstream.
• Aids in Blood Sugar Management: Okra helps regulate glucose because its high fiber content slows down sugar absorption in the intestinal tract. This prevents rapid blood sugar spikes, making it an excellent dietary choice for managing Type-2 diabetes.
• Boosts Immune Health and Skin: A single cup of okra provides over 26% of your daily value of Vitamin C. This powerful antioxidant stimulates white blood cell production and encourages healthy collagen synthesis for glowing skin.
• Strengthens Bones and Blood Clotting: Okra is rich in Vitamin K1 and calcium. Vitamin K acts as a direct modifier of bone matrix proteins, significantly improving calcium absorption and lowering the long-term risk of bone fractures.
