What & Where is Okra?
Okra is most popular in the south in the United States, and is available year-round there. Fresh, it is available in the rest of the country generally from May to October. It is also available canned, frozen, and dried. Okra is best known as being an ingredient in southern gumbos, where both its flavor and thickening qualities are appreciated. Okra can be prepared in many ways, though – sautéed, stewed, braised, and baked. |
