AMERICAN OKRA

American Okra is a warm-weather vegetable recognized for its slender, green pods and distinctive texture. When cooked, okra releases natural mucilage, which helps thicken soups and stews. It has a mild, grassy flavor with subtle sweetness.

Okra is a good source of fiber, vitamin C, folate, and antioxidants. Popular in Southern, Caribbean, and African cuisines, it is commonly featured in gumbo, curries, and stir-fries. Whether fried, grilled, or stewed, okra adds unique texture and nutrition to meals.
