OKRA (Bhindi) is an everyday summer vegetable diet due to its ability to grow during the hot seasons when few other fresh garden vegetables are available. It takes on the form of an elongated lantern as it grows. It is a fuzzy, green-colored, ribbed pod ranging from approximately 2-7 inches. This vegetable is popular for its rows of tiny seeds and slimy or sticky texture when sliced open. Okra (also known as Lady's finger) is a common vegetable throughout the world. It is a nutrient powerhouse and an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin A, folacin, vitamin B, and fiber. Additionally, the vegetable is high in magnesium, potassium, and calcium. Okra, which is fat- and cholesterol-free, is a low-calorie vegetable. The vegetable thrives in well-drained, fertile soils that receive direct sunlight. The pH of the soil is usually irrelevant to the plant, as it thrives in soils ranging between slightly acidic and slightly alkaline (pH 6.5 to 7.5).
