Description
Jing Orange okra is a beautiful Asian heirloom known for slender, tender pods in shades of glowing orange-red. The plants are productive in heat and bring hibiscus-like flowers before the harvest begins, making them as handsome as they are useful.
Pick the pods young, while they are still tender and bright, for frying, grilling, gumbo, pickling, and quick skillet meals. The color softens when cooked, but the garden display is unforgettable—sunlit pods held upright on sturdy plants through the hottest stretch of summer.
