Crunchy Mama Tip
Try baking your okra in a glass dish or a baking sheet not lined with aluminum foil. Some non-stick pans contain a toxic coating that is harmful to our health. Cooking with aluminum foil allows some of this aluminum to seep into our foods. Also try incorporating any of Soul Brasil's organic flavored vinegars to a salad or entrée that you are preparing with this dish.
