#Okra and #Fenugreek Extracts Safely Remove #Microplastics From Water in New Texas Research
May 10, 2025
"The substances behind the slimy strings from okra and the gel from fenugreek seeds could trap microplastics better than a commonly used synthetic polymer.
"Texas researchers proposed in 2022 using these sticky #NaturalPolymers to clean up water. Now, they’ve found that okra and/or fenugreek extracts attracted and removed up to 90% of microplastics from #ocean water, #freshwater, and #groundwater.
"With funding from the U.S. Department of Energy, Rajani Srinivasan and colleagues at Tarleton State University found that the plant-based polymers from okra, fenugreek, and #tamarind stick to microplastics, clumping together and sinking for easy separation from water.
"In this next stage of the research, they have optimized the process for okra and fenugreek extracts and tested results in a variety of types of water.
"To extract the sticky plant polymers, the team soaked sliced okra pods and blended fenugreek seeds in separate containers of water overnight. Then, researchers removed the dissolved extracts from each solution and dried them into powders.
"Analyses published in the American Chemical Society journal showed that the powdered extracts contained #polysaccharides, which are natural polymers. Initial tests in pure water spiked with microplastics showed that:
- One gram of either powder in a quart (one liter) of water trapped microplastics the most effectively.
- Dried okra and fenugreek extracts removed 67% and 93%, respectively, of the plastic in an hour.
- A mixture of equal parts okra and fenugreek powder reached maximum removal efficiency (70%) within 30 minutes.
- The natural polymers performed significantly better than the synthetic, commercially available polyacrylamide polymer used in #wastewater treatment."Then the researchers tested the plant extracts on real microplastic-polluted water. They collected samples from waterbodies around Texas and brought them to the lab. The plant extract removal efficiency changed depending on the original water source.
"Okra worked best in ocean water (80%), fenugreek in groundwater (80-90%), and the 1:1 combination of okra and fenugreek in freshwater (77%).
"The researchers hypothesize that the natural polymers had different efficiencies because each water sample had different types, sizes and shapes of microplastics.
"Polyacrylamide, which is currently used to remove contaminants during wastewater treatment, has low toxicity, but its precursor #acrylamide is considered #toxic. Okra and fenugreek extracts could serve as #biodegradable and #nontoxic alternatives.
" 'Utilizing these plant-based extracts in water treatment will remove microplastics and other pollutants without introducing additional toxic substances to the treated water,' said Srinivasan in a media release, 'thus reducing long-term health risks to the population [and the environment].
"She had previously studied the use of food-grade plant extracts as non-toxic flocculants to remove textile-based pollutants from wastewater and thought, ‘Why not try microplastics?’"

Jamu Asem Jawa - A very Delicious and Healthy, Traditional Tamarind Drink

Jamu Asem Jawa – A very Delicious and Healthy, Traditional Tamarind Drink
When it comes to health and well-being, my family and I have been relying on nature’s remedies for many years, and the very few days that we’ve been sick in total show that we seem to be doing the right thing.
I’ve already shared a few of our healthy drinks with you like:
- Hot Orange-Ginger-Honey Drink
- Hot Ginger-Chili-Thyme Tea with Honey
- Es Kelapa Muda – Iced Young Coconut water
Today, I would like to share another of our all-time favourites: Jamu Asem Jawa, a traditional Tamarind Drink.
Jamu is the name given to all kinds of healthy drinks which somehow also work as remedies.
Asem Jawa is the name given to Tamarind from the island of Java.
The fresh Tamarind Pulp and Palm Sugar are boilingAccording to BBC Good Food, Tamarind has many healthy benefits, among them:
- Rich source of antioxidants
- May have anticancer properties
- May improve heart health and cholesterol
- Offers liver protective benefits
- Provides natural antimicrobial benefits
- May offer anti-diabetic benefits
Be careful though, as tamarind has the capability to cause an allergic reaction in some people, may lower blood sugar levels, and can have a laxative effect if consumed in large amounts.
To know more, please continue reading the article on BBC Good Food.
As usual, please be careful with homemade remedies, and consult your doctor when in doubt.
My family and I mostly like the Tamarind Drink because of it’s pretty sour taste, which may not be for everyone.
Let’s see what we need to prepare the Jamu:
Ingredients
- 125 g fresh Asem Jawa (tamarind pulp)
- 2 liters of drinking water
- 100 g palm sugar (or more to taste)
Preparation
Place the tamarind pulp in a large pot. Add the water, and the sugar, and bring to a boil while stirring once in a while and squeezing the tamarind pulp to get it diluted as well as possible.
Reduce the heat, and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced to about two thirds of the initial amount.
The finished Jamu Asem Jawa has been filled into bottlesPour through a large sieve to get rid of the seeds and peel that may have been inside the pulp, and fill into clean, disinfected glass bottles while still hot, so that it can make a vacuum.
Let cool completely, store inside your fridge and enjoy about 125-250 ml per person per day.
If the drink is much too sour, you can add more sugar, but try to keep the sugar amount as low as possible, not to compromise the healthy effects of the drink.
Enjoy this sour delicacy when it has cooled down completelyMy family and I first met the drink in a supermarket, and immediately liked it. Unfortunately, it is sold in very small packets with straws and such.
That’s why we decided to prepare the drink ourselves, not only to reduce the waste amount, but also to have control over the amount of sugar added.
Have you ever come across Jamu Asem Jawa or any other of the Jamu?
I’m curious to read about your impressions and opinions about it. Feel free to share them in the comments.

That bounce-back of my home-grown #tamarind tree is going strong. So great to see it happy again, my little tree.

My beloved #tamarind tree is budding up again!
It lost all its leaves a couple of weeks ago, and based on it doing something similar last year (half its leaves then) I continued to care for it and wait it out, with minimal watering.
Of all the things I've grown from seed, the tamarind and the date palm were most surprising – very dramatic and enjoyable at every step.

My brain is percolating over thoughts on how to grow dwarf sized #tamarind trees in pots, in a greenhouse, in Saanich.
We really like using tamarind for cultural cooking, to eat as sour snacks & to make into tamarind candies.

My #tamarind tree has bounced back nicely in recent weeks with a bit of extra attention!
It's been a very entertaining houseplant. I recommend it!
Just go buy a pack of tamarind paste at a South Asian shop and you get many big seeds in it, as well as a tasty seasoning for diverse dishes.

A few hours ago my friends and I had fritters* and paella at their place and now I'm back to wearing my ankle monitor again.
*The pic is of yesterday's fritters; we'd scoffed today's lot before I thought of taking a photo. Yes, they really are that good.

I just made this dipping sauce (and the fritters to go with it) - and it is truly awesome. If you don't like it that hot, remove the pith & seeds.
40 g tamarind block
6 garlic cloves, peeled & crushed
2 tsp superfine sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp fish sauce
2 finger chilies, sliced into rings
Makes: about 75 mlRecipe for fritters and dip:

For the Sunday #Houseplants crowd, here's my home grown #tamarind tree. I'm just about to trim it back, which requires much mustering of bravery.
Feels brutal, but I want to bound its growth bonsai style. Its new leaves have been more compact recently, so it is making a transition, realizing that it's not going to get to be a 20m to tree.

Opin juuri uutta 🤯
Mm. HP- ja Worcestershirekastikkeet sisältävät tamarindia. ☝️
Tykkään hirmuisesti tamarindista curryyn sekoitettuna. 😻

This gorgeous #GreenHeron only gifts us with her presence once a week or so, and usually only for a few minutes. Today she's been hanging out by the #tamarind tree for an hour so I reckon it's time to make her #mastodon famous. #birds #guadeloupe
