➤ When: Okra is available fresh year-round in the South and is a favorite in Southern cooking. The rest of the country enjoys okra from May through October.
➤ What to Look For: Find small okra, no more than 3 inches long. The pods should be tender yet crisp and have little or no damage to the surface; they do not have to be smooth.
➤ Why: Okra is loaded with potassium.
➤ How to Use: Okra needs to be properly cooked; it’s great steamed, grilled, or fried. It’s best known for its role in gumbo, and as a thickening agent for stews and soup. Okra is also delicious pickled.
