What is okra?

Seriously, what the heck is okra? It is a vegetable, right? But what is it like?

Okra are small, mild, slender green vegetable pods, about 2-3 inches (5-7.5 cm) in length, with crisp outer flesh. When cooked, okra releases a viscous substance that can serve as a thickening agent. This is a lot of times deep fried and served!

Yes, Okra is a vegetable. It is used a lot in Southern Cooking. Battered and deep fried, it is very good. Okra and tomatoes is another good dish. It is also used in stews. I had never even heard of it until I moved to MO. It has to be picked when small, only 2 or 3 inches in length because as it gets larger, it gets very hard and stringy.

its also a whale lmao

LOL @ the comment above mine...

<P>Yes, it is a vegetable. You can google it and look at the images. You can buy them frozen in your local market at the area where they have frozen fruits and vegtables.
