Belonging to the mallow family and closely related to flowering hibiscus, this vegetable found its way into the eastern Mediterranean regions through cultivation. The first documented account of okra comes from a Spanish Moor who visited Egypt in 1216. During the mid-1600s, it was introduced to Brazil before making its way to America through French colonists in Louisiana. Today, okra is especially popular in the Southern United States and is commonly enjoyed breaded and fried or incorporated into various recipes such as soups, stews, and relishes. It is often an essential ingredient in Cajun and Creole dishes. Due to its tendency to become slimy when cooked alone, it is rarely served on its own but rather used as part of a larger dish. For most families, four to six plants are sufficient; however for others that may be too many. Okra's versatility and unique taste make it a beloved ingredient across different cuisines worldwide. Its journey from Africa to various parts of the world demonstrates how food cultures evolve over time through exploration and trade routes. Non GmoOpen Pollinated USA Grown
