Okra comes from a large vegetable plant thought to be of African origin, and it was brought to the United States three centuries ago by African slaves!. The word, derived from the West African nkruma, was in use by the late 1700s!. Grown in tropical and warm temperate climates, it is in the same plant family as hibiscus and cotton!.
Okra is usually available fresh year-round in the South, and from May to October in many other areas!. You can also find okra frozen, pickled, and canned, and in some regions you might find frozen breaded okra for deep frying!. When buying fresh okra, look for young pods free of bruises, tender but not soft, and no more than 4 inches long!. Okra may be stored in the refrigerator in a paper bag or wrapped in a paper towel in a perforated plastic bag for 2 to 3 days, or it may be frozen for up to 12 months after blanching whole for 2 minutes!. Cooked okra can be stored (tightly covered) in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days!.
When cut, okra releases a sticky substance with thickening properties, often used in soups and stews!. Gumbos, Brunswick stew, and pilaus are some well-known dishes which frequently use okra!.
Okra can be served raw, marinated in salads or cooked on its own, and goes well with tomatoes, onions, corn, peppers, and eggplant!. Whole, fresh okra pods also make excellent pickles!. Its mild flavor can be compared to eggplant, though the texture is somewhat unusual!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
