Okra, stir-fried in corn oil

Okra is a vegetable; the form described here has been trimmed, sliced and stir-fried in corn oil. This preparation mainly provides fat, with smaller amounts of carbohydrate and protein. Per 100g, it contains 26g of fat, including 3.3g of saturated fat, and provides 21mg of vitamin C and 220mg of calcium.

Vitamin C supports normal collagen formation, while calcium helps maintain bones and teeth. The oil used in frying contributes to the fat and energy content, which is worth noting for people monitoring their energy or saturated fat intake. These figures relate to the fried preparation rather than raw okra. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
