Nutritional values

Spinach is a great source of folic acid, while okra pods also provide the vitamin that is important for cell division. Among other things, folic acid plays a decisive role in the development of the human foetus, especially in the development of the central nervous system. Therefore, pregnant women have an increased need - and are well served with this stew.

Fresh okras have a beautiful green colour. Alternative: glass or can. If you cannot get lobster tails, shrimps are a good substitute.
