Eating a variety of fruits and vegetables is important for children's health because they provide vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Good nutrition can help children to grow and develop more efficiently. Every parents alwsys wants their kids to eat all the nutrient foods for overall growth. And it goes at my childhood days too. I was / am a foodie since childhood. Love to eat, whatever being served, but one things that always dislike is eating lady finger. Even today I do not eat that vegetable.
(fried okra at home)
Lady's fingers is an alternative name for the vegetable okra. I was grown up with the old name untill, I figured out the original name Okra. This sounds much better than lady finger. The term was originally used in the United States to describe a particular variety of "okra", but has since come to refer to the vegetable more generally. I am pretty sure, most of the Indian kids grown up calling okra as "lady finger*". This might be one of the reason that, I hate this vegetable. But still my parents alwsys insisted to eat it. It grows in my backyard and often cooked at home in afternoon meals or at night.
My Parents alwsys encourage me to eat bhindi (hindi name of okra), because it is a good source of fiber and water, which can help with digestion and prevent constipation. Fiber also helps clean the intestines and reduce the risk of stomach pain. Also this vegetablenis abduntaly available in te markets. I remeber we never had to buy as it was grown n our backyard.
The exception to avoid okra is not only limited to me. People often dislike okra because of its slimy texture when overcooked, which can be unappealing to many, especially when the pods are not prepared properly. Its slightly "grassy" flavor, and sometimes tough fibrous texture, particularly if the okra pods are too large, and the fact that it can be challenging to cook consistently without becoming overly slimy.
There is no particular reason of avoiding okra, but it comes naturally to me. I tried to avoid as much as possible. But now seems I have a reason to support my dislike. Recently, I learned that, eating too much okra can lead to kidney and gallbladder stones because of its oxalates. People with kidney problems should avoid eating okra. In my opinion, it is better to be safe than taking any risk with our body. Better to stay away from Okra.

Bhindi mujhe bhi ni prasand Hain.. but majboori me khaani padti Hain 😂😂
I seriously avoid it all the time.
Hahaha..
Bhindi mujhe bhi pasand nahi thi. Phir jab papa ka transfer Car Nic hua tha.. Us time pata chal bhindi ki value. Now its one of my fav veg. Mujh jaisa maansbhakshi ka bhi fav veg. 😂
Har Ghar ki shan, bhindi Hai sabki pehchan. But in my case, I never want it on my plate even my relatives now aware about it. They have to cook potatoes especially for me. ... but bhindi...nnaaa
Namaste 🙏 bro, I love to eat okra, mujhe tari wali sabji acchi lagti hai fry wala nahi
!INDEED
Bhai, Tari wali toh or sticky or slimmy hoti.... I never like it
Kid time pe pasand nahi tha bro, lekin hostel me rahte hue khane laga 😅, milta wahi tha hostel me jo pasand nahi tha🤗
I don't think I have ever had Okra prepared in a way that I like. I used to hate it, but I also used to hate brussel sprouts and broccoli, so I think I would like to try it again. I had okra a long time ago down in Oklahoma when we were visiting some friends.
There were many recipes around. I once ate okra fritters mistakenly and that was quite crunchy. I liked it , but such thing never cooked at home....
Interesting!
😃 why would you hate okra. It's such a nutritious vegetable
I know, people die for it, even at home everyone likes it, but not made for me
hmm I've actually never ate this before. It doesn't look very appetizing though. I think this could potentially be worse than eggplants and I strongly dislike eggplants haha.
It is nutritious and easily digestible. But seriously out of my menu book. Though I cook it, and people like my recipe...
I learned to eat okra a few years ago, because I never liked the way my grandmother prepared it, very viscous and discolored, however a nice lady gave me her recipe and now I simply love it...some tastes change as the years go by....
If you want I can send you the recipe, although I doubt you'll want it...😅
Cheers and peace.
Learning new thing is never an issue. You will be surprised, that I am OK to cook it , I can make two types of it, but when it comes to eating, I seriously need some other mouth. ....looking forward to your recipe
I've never eaten that.... I didn't know what it was until this publication, but if you don't like it, just in case I don't eat it and even less with the risks....
There are no risks, even it is healthy and nutritious.....but not made for me. I seriously dislike being served on my plate
Just in case... neither do I hahaha.
Pasta women....never had okra 😜
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
