Okra, also called Abelmoschus esculentus L. or lady’s finger, is a vegetable native to Africa. Today, it grows throughout many tropical and subtropical regions.

Okra seedpods are a mucilaginous food, meaning that they produce a sticky, glue-like substance. They’ve long been used in traditional African and Asian medicine to treat conditions such as gastritis.

Okra chips are a handy way to boost your dietary fiber intake and gain the benefits of okras, without any stickiness.
