Okra

Okra is available from now through November. High in a variety of antioxidants, okra is also a low-glycemic food; its viscous carbohydrates help slow the uptake of sugar into the bloodstream, making it a smart choice for diabetics. It can also help keep cholesterol levels under control.

Recipes to try:

• Pan-Seared Okra
• Gobo Gumbo
• Yassa (Pot-Roast Chicken with Greens and Peanuts)
