img_6642

Okra grows well in the hot midsummer, so it must be a warm vegetable.

I was interested in the history and origin of Okra.

（｀・ω・´）

 



 

Okra's place of origin
seems to be considered to be Africa (around South Ethiopia).

From there, it spread around the Mediterranean Sea, the Balkan Peninsula, and India.

In this area, Okra is called ladies' finger or bindi and seems to be a classic ingredient.

It is especially loved and loved by thick soup.

Okra history

Slaves brought from Africa in America in the 1800s

It seems to have spread from where the cheap okra seeds were sown instead of coffee.

Yup? Does that mean that if you roast okra, it will become a candy? (/・ω・)/
Let's experiment next time

Reviving = Japanese basil
It seems to have come from being told to say .

Eh! ? What are the benefits to recover from food poisoning!

I was more worried, so I checked it.

First, the good scent component of Japanese basil is perylaldehyde,
It seems to have the effect of promoting antibacterial, antiseptic, and gastric juice secretion.

I see! (・ ∀ ・) I understand the meaning of sashimi!

And the nutritional value of the contents you care about

Vitamin C, (Abundant. Vitamin C works to protect cell health.)
Vitamin E, (Abundant. Vitamin E prevents oxidation by active oxygen.)
Vitamin B1 (recovery from fatigue)
β-carotene (contains more than carrots. β-carotene becomes vitamin A and works for immune function and vision maintenance)

It was a versatile vegetable that contained only such healthy foods. (^ ◇ ^)

Since it is easy to grow, why don't you try growing it in home cultivation?
