Okra is a very unique and not well-known vegetable in the west. In India, it is known as bhindi. It is often dismissed because of its sliminess but when prepared well it is delicious and it is one of the superfoods. Okra is the star in this Okra Sautéed with Cashews dish.

It has good soluble fiber which helps reduce cholesterol and also lessens the chance of heart disease. It kills breast cancer cells and is also good for gastritis while boosting the brain’s cognitive abilities.

Cashews

Cashews are delightfully sweet and creamy nuts that are crunchy and full of health benefits! All over the world, these delicious exotic nuts are found in many cuisines as they add flavour and texture. They add that luxurious crunch to this meal. Always best to buy organic cashews raw and then roast them as I never see organic roasted ones.

Almond oil has a high smoke point making it great for stir-frying and sautéing. It is good for High Heat Up To 460F.

Garlic adds an extra taste to this Okra Sautéed with Cashews.

garlic health benefits — Garlic is full of health benefits.

The allicin in garlic is a powerful antibiotic, which fights infection and bacteria. To get the most health benefits from garlic, let it sit for a minimum of 5 minutes, after cutting and before eating or cooking. Waiting for 5 – 10 minutes allows the health-promoting allicin to form. If you do not let it sit, allicin is never formed, so it is worth the wait.

Sometimes it is easier to use some Organic Freeze Dried Garlic with no chopping and peeling. This BioPure garlic is certified organic and sustainably grown on high-quality soils in northern Canada.

Lemons’ health benefits are immense. To begin they are acidic to the taste but are alkaline-forming in the body.
