Okra is a type of vegetable with a long history, often referred to as ladies’ fingers or ochro. The flower has not been studied as extensively, but thorough studies have shown it to be a zucchini relative and currently has no known use for human consumption.
Okra is a popular food with its edible green seed pods which are often described as ‘ridiculously tasty’. Its geographical origin is unknown but supporters claim West African, Ethiopian, & South Asian origins.
