African origins, brought to the Caribbean and up to Louisiana and Mississippi. Okra is a popular health food due to its high fiber, vitamin C, and folate content. Okra is also known for being high in antioxidants. Okra is also a good source of calcium and potassium.

It's a member of the mallow family, and quite unlike any other vegetable. It's actually the seed pod of the plant, which grows as tall, straight stalks.

It can be stewed with tomatoes, battered and deep-fried, or served in a stew. The word "gumbo" is actually a synonym for okra. In Texas and Louisiana, they pickle it.

What a shame. You need to visit the South and try it, at least once.

That's a terrifying thought. This time of night, it's mostly scary people. EEK!

Well, I don't think people eat it raw, and when you cook it, it emits this sort of gummy slime. Kind of like... rubber cement, a little bit? I don't know, it's just slimy.

My dad's side of the family all live in Louisiana, and every time they make it, that's what it tastes like. It's always in the gumbo, which I do like, but I'll usually avoid the okra in it. laugh out loud

It's not horrible if you fry it... but I figure if you have to fry it to make it taste decent, it's probably not worth it.

EDIT: I guess if you like seaweed, you'll be okay with it. I love most vegetables, but I draw the line at slime. Nono2
