Product Highlights

Red okra is a fun, eye-catching vegetable that brings colour to your garden and your plate. The plants grow tall and bear large, creamy flowers followed by deep red pods. The pods can be cooked just like regular okra in sabzi, stir-fries and curries. The red colour softens a little on cooking, but the taste stays mild and pleasant. It loves heat and sunshine, so it is a great pick for warm-season gardens. Picking pods while they are young and tender encourages the plant to keep producing. One pack is enough for several pots, which makes it great value for a small home garden.
