Okra, scientifically known as Abelmoschus esculentus, is a flowering plant valued for its edible green pods. Commonly referred to as lady's finger, gumbo, or bhindi in various parts of the world, Okra is native to Ethiopia and cultivated in warm climates across the globe.
It offers various health benefits. It is low in calories and rich in fiber, vitamins (such as vitamin C, vitamin K), and minerals (such as potassium and magnesium). Okra contains antioxidants such as polyphenols and flavonoids. With a ratio of 10 parts Okra pods to 1 part extract, this concentrated powder provides a potent source of bioactive constituents.

Product Use |
Okra, also known as lady's finger or bhindi, is a warm-season vegetable that is grown in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. It is believed to have originated in Africa and then spread to other regions through the slave trade. Today, the top producers of okra are India, Nigeria, Sudan, and Pakistan, with smaller amounts being grown in the United States, Mexico, and Central America.
Okra plants are annuals that can grow up to 6 feet tall. They have large, lobed leaves and produce yellow or cream-colored flowers. The fruits of the okra plant are long and slender, with a distinctive ridged texture. They are harvested when they are young and tender, usually when they are about 3-4 inches long.
Okra can be cultivated in a variety of soils, but it prefers well-drained, fertile soils with a pH level of 6.0-6.5. It is a warm-weather crop that requires a long growing season, with temperatures above 80°F. It is typically planted in the spring and harvested in the summer or early fall.
