Hill Country Red Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus)

This prolific, heat-loving variety comes from the Texas Hill Country. Red-tinted pods reach 6” long at full maturity but are best harvested when 2-3” long for optimal texture and flavor. Tender young pods are delicious pickled, simmered, roasted, and fresh from the garden.
