Okra biscuits: the new appetite buster?
NCT ID NCT07631663
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether biscuits made with mature okra flour can make young adults feel fuller and change certain blood markers related to appetite. Thirty healthy participants will eat either the okra biscuit or a standard biscuit on separate days, then rate their fullness and give blood samples over about 2.5 hours. It is a small, early-stage trial focused on understanding how okra flour might affect appetite.
