Okra

We are in the full swing of okra season!

For those of you who are new to okra, okra is a delightful veggie that is typically found in southern dishes. The taste can best be described as a mild, grassy flavor and it is crunchy when raw and mouthwateringly tender when cooked. We love crunching on raw okra for a snack and using it in many other ways.
