Description
Star of David okra is an Israeli heirloom with thick, deeply ribbed pods and sturdy plants that thrive when the season turns hot. The pods are best picked young, when their bold shape is still tender and the flavor is rich, earthy, and well suited to classic summer cooking.
The plants grow strong and handsome, with hibiscus-like blossoms that bring beauty before the harvest. Grill the pods whole, slice them for gumbo, or fry them crisp—their star-shaped cross-sections make this variety as memorable on the cutting board as it is in the row.
