In this Brazilian article discussing the trending topic of "okra water" on TikTok, Scott Keatley contributed as a nutrition expert. He noted that while okra itself is rich in vitamins, minerals, and particularly fiber, it is unclear how much of these nutrients are transferred to the water during the preparation of okra water. Keatley highlighted that consuming okra water might provide some vitamins and antioxidants, but it wouldn't offer the same nutrient levels or the fiber benefits as eating the vegetable itself. He also remarked on the healthiness of the beverage, stating that it could be considered healthy if one enjoys the flavor and is looking for a low-calorie way to add some variety to their diet. However, he emphasized that it doesn’t deliver the fiber that contributes significantly to okra's health benefits.
