Taboos on eating okra oil

1. Although okra oil is nutritious and tastes good, the production of this vegetable oil is very limited because the planting area of ​​okra in my country is not very large. Therefore, it is expensive (higher than high-end oils such as olive oil, camellia oil, and safflower oil). Its price is about 400 yuan per catty, which is not affordable for ordinary families. It is not recommended to use it as cooking oil. For family consumption, it is recommended to mix 5% or 10% okra oil with 90% ordinary cooking oil to make okra blended oil.

2. When cooking with okra oil, avoid consuming it with foods with relatively light odors such as celery, garlic sprouts, fennel, and coriander, as this will affect the taste of the okra oil.

3. Okra does not have any curative effect, it only has an auxiliary role in treating diseases. Don't believe in it blindly.

4. Okra oil should not be paired with foods with strong flavors such as celery, garlic sprouts, fennel, and coriander.
