Okra has a reputation for its slimy texture, but when it is cooked properly it is a delicious addition to your summer meals.


Chop your okra into half inch long pieces, dip in Buttermilk, coat in a flour and cornmeal mixture, fry and drain it for a crispy treat. You can also try a lentil and okra curry or create a gumbo dish with chicken or shrimp.


Don't miss out on spicy pickled okra with hot peppers and garlic, either!

Best Okra I've Grown

by

This has been my favorite okra variety so far. It's been very productive. I'll definitely plant this okra again next year.

terrific!

Wonderful okra, stays tender to a surprising size, although I do try to pick it right about 4 or 5 inches long. Multiple side shoots produce okra in addition to the main stalk. Give it plenty of space so you can search through the side shoots to harvest!

Big okra hit!

by

My biggest garden success so far! Very productive and sturdy; my 2021 plants made it through Ida in New Orleans. 2022 summer crop was from seeds harvested in 2021 and just as productive. Pods are super tender from 3 to up to 6 inches long.

Amazing Quality!

We order these and give them away in our community seed garden and they are always a hit! One of our staff members planted some to grow in the children's display and they are flourishing in the middle of our very poorly lit library. These are some very high quality seeds.
