follow the Sun.

Eat it all ways but boiled.

Like in eggs scrambled or fried or in a stew / gumbo / curry mix.

Best to pick when very tender.

Here is something good.

Get a good quality raw cheese pizza like Costco.

Top with many okra rounds, fresh peppers, hot Cajun sausage, garlic, and pepper jack cheese.

This is really tasty, restaurants should have okra pizzas.
