To boil or stew okra and tomatoes without producing slime, start by washing and slicing the okra into bite-sized pieces. Blanch the okra in boiling water for a few minutes before adding it to your stew or sauce, which helps reduce the slime. Additionally, cooking okra quickly at high temperatures and avoiding excessive stirring can minimize slime formation. Adding acidic ingredients, like tomatoes, can also help reduce the sliminess.

My wife read this somewhere and started me on this Okra water regime. I am a food scientist and did some research. Okra is supposedly high in fibre. Some part of that fibre will be soluble and will dissolve in water overnight. Dietary fiber is low GI and also helps constipation. But are there other easy sources for Dietary fibre, sure. So no special points to Okra on that one. Why keep it overnight in water? Just eating a baked or raw Okra will give you same benefits. Okra is also high in Vit B as per some sources. Thsi will dissolve into the water. B helps nerve damage caused by Diabetes. But how is that different than eating a raw Okra or other sources of Vit B? So no special points to OKRA on that one either. Okra could have some undiscovered chemical that heps diabetes. These things are possible all the while. So my bottom line on this is: cannot hurt, might slightly assist diabetes.
Research suggests that okra may help manage diabetes due to its high fiber and antioxidant content, which can help regulate blood sugar levels. However, more studies are needed to confirm its effectiveness in diabetes management.
