Evidence-based food guidance for fatty liver disease · Based on AASLD 2023 Guidelines
Okra, Unprepared belongs to the Vegetables and Vegetable Products group in the USDA FoodData Central database. Per 100 grams, it provides 30.0 kcal, 1.7g protein, 6.6g carbohydrate, and 0.2g fat — of which 0.07g is saturated (35.0% of total fat).
It counts as minimally processed, so it sits near the whole-food end of the Mediterranean-style pattern. The 2.2g of fiber per 100g is another data point worth weighing, since fiber supports the metabolic response the liver depends on. Sodium comes in at 3.0mg per 100g, a moderate amount that fits comfortably in most days. The database lists Stir-fry as the usual preparation — relevant because how it is cooked changes the fat that ends up on the plate. These stats come from the USDA dataset that powers the entire site, scored with the uniform AASLD 2023 criteria applied to every food.
Since Okra, Unprepared earns a Recommended grade, it can be a regular part of a Mediterranean-style week, which is the AASLD's framework for MASLD.
