The star of this salad is bhindi or okra. This vegetable is packed with potassium, vitamin B, vitamin C, folic acid, and calcium. It is extremely low in calories and has a high dietary fibre. Research suggests that okra helps control blood sugar levels in type 1, type 2 as well as gestational diabetes. Polyphenols, including flavonoids and isoquercetin, and vitamins A and C are the major antioxidants in okra. Researchers also suggested that the okra decreases sugar absorption in the digestive tract, leading to a more stable blood sugar response. It’s rich in magnesium, folate, fiber, antioxidants, and vitamin C, K1, and A.
