My farm again wants to showcase one of its gems in the name of Okra. Many will realize the significance of this amazing fruit commonly used as a vegetable. Not that it is edible but it also has amazing health capabilities you will soon discover if you read on.

 

Do not confuse ochre with okra. Ochre is a type of coloured clay used for decoration. Okra happens to be a fruit mostly used as a vegetable.

Developing unique plants is my passion. Okra found itself in my garden and to be honest, I never knew what it was and how to use it. Mine was to cultivate them for seeds which the locals demanded. I cared less what they wanted them for. I do not know when they began looking for the young green bell-like fruits. Yet my sales for them went suddenly up. If it was not for the good price they offered I would not have sold them the young fruits.
