Okra, raw

Okra is a vegetable eaten for its pods. The figures here describe raw okra with the ends trimmed. It consists mainly of water and provides small amounts of carbohydrate and protein, along with vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, it contains 3g of carbohydrate, 2.8g of protein, 21mg of vitamin C and 88µg of folate.

Vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Folate is needed for normal cell division and the formation of blood cells. Raw okra contains little salt or saturated fat, although added ingredients can change these amounts when it is prepared. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
