Ok... very good point about Gumbo. As is usual for me, I was hasty. Also I had a next door neighbor from Africa. From Ghana. He was a doctor. Fine Christian man. He used to make soups and stews and used dried and powdered Okra.

“Why is eating fried okra safe, but soaking it in water and drinking the water potentially dangerous?”

I don’t know exactly. It’s some kind of science thing. Everything becomes safe to eat when fried. Salad is dangerous though. And you never see an ecoli outbreak in Whiskey or Rum.

I find it in the frozen vegetable section, but not every store carries it. I sure don’t know anything about grocery stores in Hawaii.

Okra water has been propagated for improving digestion as it neutralizes stomach acid associated with peptic ulcers in the stomach and small intestine.

Got there and stopped reading.

If you're reading that passage and not grasping the dangerous idiocy behind that statement, you have no business self-medicating in the absence of professional guidance, let alone proffering any health or diet advice whatsoever.

I have no knowledge of okra water and am uncertain to its health benefits, but AM certain that the answers are NOT in this article.

It is almost impossible to find whole, fresh okra here too.
I'm not sure Hawaiians know what okra is... 🤔

I don’t believe it is a popular vegetable.
