| Wikipedia Summary | Okra or Okro (US: , UK: ), Abelmoschus esculentus, known in many English-speaking countries as ladies' fingers or ochro, is a flowering plant in the mallow family. The geographical origin of okra is disputed, with supporters of West African, Ethiopian, and South Asian origins. As a member of the Malvaceae, it is related to such species as cotton, cocoa, and hibiscus. Leaves and seeds === Young okra leaves may be cooked in a similar way to the greens of beets or dandelions, or in salads. When importation of coffee was disrupted by the American Civil War in 1861, the Austin State Gazette said, 'An acre of okra will produce seed enough to furnish a plantation with coffee in every way equal to that imported from Rio.'Greenish-yellow edible okra oil is pressed from okra seeds; it has a pleasant taste and odor, and is high in unsaturated fats such as oleic acid and linoleic acid. |
