Emerald Okra is a Cajun-cooking favorite vegetable. It's also popular in soups, stews and when fried or boiled. This okra variety's long, deep-green, ribbed pods are very tender. Emerald Okra is a prolific plant that produces abundant crops with regular picking-growing to a height of five to seven feet! Resistant to heat and drought, Organic okra seeds have plentiful yields of juicy, crisp pods that remain tender even when the okra grows up to seven feet tall.
