Okra: What are the transparent grains?
One day when I grow an okra, the back of the leaf, the stem and so on
I noticed that there were a lot of transparent crushes like images.
what's this? (;´・ω・)
What kind of insect egg? I'm scared because there are so many ...
As a result of various investigations! I understand the identity.
The identity of the transparent squash is
Mucin! So mucin!
What is a mucin? (´・ω・`)
Mucin is a sticky component of okra and is a glycoprotein.
Of course, it's okay to eat, and it seems natural to have this transparent crushed. (^ ◇ ^)
