Okra China features long, green pods with a tender bite and a slightly grassy flavor. Commonly used in soups, curries, stir-fries, gumbo, or battered and fried, okra adds body and texture to dishes. Store refrigerated and use within a few days for best quality. Wash before cooking and trim stems. Great for both traditional and contemporary recipes, it pairs well with tomatoes, onions, and spices.
