Fresh Okra 10 lb.

Details

Keep your pantry stocked with high-quality staples like this fresh okra! Native to Eastern Africa, okra features long, tapered pods with a bright green color and a slightly fuzzy appearance. Inside, the pods have hollow chambers and are filled with tiny, edible seeds. When raw, okra has a crunchy texture and a fresh, grassy flavor; when cooked, it becomes tender and its flavor is mild. Okra produces a thick slime when cut or heated, making it an excellent thickener for soups and stews. Best of all, this okra doesn't just taste great, but it's great for you, too! Okra is a superfood and a great source of vitamins K, C, B, and A, as well as magnesium and fiber, making it a wholesome addition to your menu! This bulk supply of 10 lb. of okra will keep your establishment well stocked with this remarkable ingredient.

Okra is an important ingredient in many global cuisines, most notably West African, Indian, and Southern American. Wash your okra before use and thoroughly pat it dry before cutting to help reduce its slimy texture. Create West African okra soup by boiling okra with beef, onion, and chicken stock, and serving with a side of fufu! In Indian cuisine, okra is typically used to create bhindi masala, dry-fried okra that's cooked with a flavorful blend of spices. Create your own bhindi masala and serve with dal and rotis for a classic Indian comfort food! Draw inspiration from Southern American cooking by adding okra to Cajun and Creole stews and gumbo. Okra is also excellent for pickling and deep frying, both of which help to reduce its slimy texture. No matter how you choose to use it, this okra will help set your menu apart from the competition!
