Guest guest Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I knew this was supposed to be very good for people but I can't seem to like at all. Do you know of a good way to cook this to it is tasty? I find that most organic vegetables taste great just steamed and maybe with organic butter. but this vegetable seems to be an exception - at best it will taste like nothing but usually I dislike it and try to think of something enjoyable when I have to eat it. Often when I dislike a food. I find that if I cook it a different way or in a casserole that the food does taste good, however, have not yet been able to find a recipe that improves the taste of orka. Any ideas ? blessings Shan > > Okra Nutrition Facts: > > Okra is one of the most popular vegetable all over the world, and called > by different names in various parts of the world, like lady's > finger, bhendi, bhendakaya, gumbo, and belongs to the mallow family > group of plants, botanically known as Abelmoschus Esculentus.
