Okra deserves more respect than it gets 😤 It’s a fruit that we treat like a vegetable, it’s related to hibiscus, its slime has an actual name, and at one point people were even roasting the seeds as a stand-in for coffee. So whether you fry it, pickle it, stew it, or throw it in a pot of gumbo, here are 5 things you probably didn’t know about okra. #okra #gardening #homestead #education #shilohfarm
