Okra, also called Okra, has a subtle flavor similar to that of eggplant. Its fruit is used as a vegetable and as a condiment, and can be eaten raw or cooked. Its young leaves can replace spinach. In some countries, the ripe, roasted seeds are used as coffee. Its flower resembles that of the hibiscus.;Originally from Africa, it would have arrived in Spain with the invasion of the Moors, in the 8th century. Then, it was introduced to the United States by African slaves, where it was long considered a food reserved for the poor. Very widespread in Louisiana and in the southern states, it is the essential food of the traditional Louisiana gumbo.
