Okra (Bhindi), Organic

Okra, organic

Okra is known in many English-speaking countries as lady’s fingers, bhindi or gumbo. It has a beautiful yellow flower and is cultivated in tropical, subtropical and warm temperate regions. The geographical origin of okra is disputed, with supporters of South Asian, Ethiopian and West African origins. The Egyptians and Moors of the 12th and 13th centuries used the Arabic word for the plant, bamya, suggesting it had come from the east.

Okra is grown for its fibrous fruits or pods containing round, white seeds. It is among the most heat- and drought-tolerant vegetable species in the world and will tolerate different soil types. Therefore it is one of the only vegetables that we can grow outside in full sun during the summer months.
