Are Okras Safe

Thanks for all the help with my stove top issues.

Now I have a new question. I love okras. Are they legal?

They aren't on the list in the Quickstart Guide. I would look for the carb content per serving. Fried, I would say no. Coated with corn meal, definately no. When I looked up infor, I got 1 cup raw was about 7 carbs, with 3 fiber, so 4 net carbs.
Not that I want them, but I know Brussels Sprouts aren't allowed and they have about 5 carbs after subtracting 2 for fiber in 1/2 cup.
So, take this as you will. Good luck. :mrgreen:

Thanks, Mike! I appreciate your reply; it was helpful. I am just greedy and trying to expand quickstart list since I don't want to get bored...already had broc and aspargus on day 1 and 2.

Thanks again, Mike!

When it comes to veggies, the ones listed in the Quick Start Guide are it. In this one area, there is absolutely no bending (unfortunately).

I know.... I sometimes have brussels sprouts- although I don't know why they are not included.
