Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) belongs to the family Malvaceae of the plant kingdom. It is an annual herbaceous vegetable crop that is grown for its tender fruits often consumed as vegetable. It is considered an important vegetable throughout the tropical and subtropical region of Africa and Asia (Ashati et. al., 1995). Immature okra fruits contain 3100 calorie energy, 1.8 g protein, 90 mg calcium and 1.0 mg iron. Seed of okra (Pusa Makhmali) had the highest oil content 17.3% which is a nutritious ingredient for cattle feed. It is reported to have good alkaline pH which contributes to its relieving effect in gastrointestinal ulcer by neutralizing digestive acid.
