This okra, scientifically known as Abelmoschus esculentus, comes from the fertile soil of Ayamontes in Andalusia.

Here are some characteristics of okra:

• Appearance: Okra pods are long and slender with a slightly jagged, tapered shape. The outer skin is green and may have a slightly hairy texture.
• Flavor and Texture: Okra has a mild, slightly sweet flavor with a delicate, juicy texture. When cooked, okra can develop a slightly slimy consistency that some people find appealing while others find it unpleasant.
• Uses: Okra is used in many different dishes and is particularly popular in Southern US cuisine, Caribbean cuisine, African cuisine and Indian cuisine. It is often used in soups, stews, curries and stir-fries. Okra can also be breaded and fried or eaten raw in salads.
• Nutritional Profile: Okra is rich in fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K and folic acid. It also contains various minerals such as potassium, magnesium and iron. Due to its high fiber content, okra can help promote digestion and lower cholesterol levels.
• Cultivation: Okra is primarily grown in warm, sunny climates. The plant requires plenty of sunlight and well-drained soil to thrive.
