Emerald is a great variety of okra that gets fairly big before getting too woody!
Okra is my favorite food in the whole world, has been since I was a little girl. I’ve never tried growing it, though.
I’ve gotten very lazy with fried okra. I salt it and left it sit for about 15 minutes—it releases some moisture. Then it toss it with my seasoned cornmeal and let it sit for a few minutes before sifting off the excess. It works great in our air fryer.
I grew up in Central MS, eating fried okra. My g-gmother lived near me when I was in college and I went to see her a couple of times a week. She loved boiled okra and she loved to cook when I came over cause she hated to eat alone. She asked me if I liked boiled okra ; I hated it cause of the slime, but told her that I liked it. After eating it a few times with her, I grew to love it, too. The things you do for the ones you love. lol
I love okra but have huge problem growing it due to ants.
Thank you for this okra video. Now I know how to cook it. I ate it raw like you suggested previously. I will grow it this year again- my second year. Yum
I make a brine and ferment mine. really great even the larger ones.
My favorite way is in gumbo or pickled
Oh stewed too..lol
ਓਕਰਾ ਦਾ ਆਪਣਾ ਅਲੱਗ ਹੀ ਸਵਾਦ ਹੈ ਬਸ ਗੱਠੇ ਵੱਧ ਪਾਏ ਹੋਣ ਫੇਰ ਬੜੀ ਸ਼ਾਨਦਾਰ ਬਣਦੀ ਹੈ ਇਹ ਭਿੰਡੀਆਂ ਦੀ ਸਬਜੀ ਇਸ ਦੇ ਬੂਟੇ ਲਾਲ ਰੰਗ ਦੇ ਵੀ ਨੇ ਵਾਹ ਪਹਿਲੀ ਵਾਰ ਦੇਖਣ ਨੂੰ ਮਿਲਿਆ ਇਹ ਲਾਲ ਬੂਟਾ ਧੰਨਵਾਦ ਜੀ
Grew up with it in northern IN, but family were gardeners. Dad stir fried them all time in summer. Bought one at HD, the Clemson were small & suffering so I bought Green Fingers which were vibrant.
I learned so much from you. In the past few weeks! We live in South Texas and our growing season I have just learned is basically 3/4 of the year..lol about to plant okra this week. Several different kinds. I love watching you harvest stuff! So freaking cool.
fingers crossed first year for okra my sweet little family lives in nwa 6b it says lol thanks girl!
I know this video is a year old, but I thought I'd still add my 2 cents! I like to chop okra into small rounds and fry with a tiny amount of oil together with onion, garlic, red peppers thinly sliced and a small amount of chilli flakes. Once nice and soft just pile between two slices of buttered bread. Simple and delicious. My mum would prepare okra as a side dish like this. By the time we'd all snuck a bit in a slice of bread there would be hardly any left to go with the meal!
I use okra in my Gumbo
Oh yes love okra.
I am about to fry up my first ever harvest of okra 😀 Thanks, Jess❤
I grow okra in a small patch in Atlanta, GA, and the yield is always tremendous. It's difficult to stay on top of harvesting it, before the pods get woody. It produces so fast.
Boiled alone, okra can be off puttingly slimey to some people, but as part of a soup, stew, or gumbo, it acts as a low carb thickener and isn't slimey.
I just pan fried my first okra harvest! Thank you for convincing me to grow it; So easy to grow in texas.
My Clemson spineless fruit but stay real small – smaller than an inch even so basically not useable. How do I get them to grow big so I can harvest and eat. Thank you.
Love okra I cook them the south Indian way it taste so yum !!
looks good. thank you. i'll try it
Hey Jess… I have a couple of questions that may sound silly. I’ve only grown the Clemson Spineless okra so my experience is very limited. Do all varieties of okra taste the same and are all okra seeds black?
