This is definitely the kind of okra / bendi / lady's fingers we are not very familiar with, both growing or eating. There are 9 plants all over the garden. They behave just like the green version, except everything seem to be red. Kakdah is thinking about the right recipe for these healthy looking fruits. The colour tone matches well against 50 roselle plants in the garden.

What an elegant plant, the flower looks like a dagger, how dangerous! Thank you for your beautiful comment on my blog :)
ReplyDeleteThat's okra Rosemary, not eggplant. It does look dangerous.. aha.
DeleteI have high hope for them too when they were growing and looking so gorgeous in red...alas,they turn pale green upon contact with heat!! Kak Dah, you have to resort to eating it raw kalau nak maintain warna merah tu...
ReplyDeleteSelamat Raya Nor..., Probably kakdah will do okra steam. Steaming with most veggies retain their colour. Ratah macam ulam, tak tertelan agaknya.
Deletevery beautiful...I'm sure you will discover that they taste as good as they look!
ReplyDeleteTheanne.... Kakdah picked a few yesterday, and she is still thinking what to do with them.
DeleteWah Bangcik ..the okras looking good...i bet the taste also would be better than the look, hehehe...i wish could have some in my garden too...
ReplyDeleteummuaidan...... selamat hari raya!. I am anxious what Kakdah will do with them!..... red okra is easy to grow, you can try.
Deleteselamat hari raya embun melati...... the final answer will be after it's all set on dining table. As a plant, it will some kind of talking point among neighbours with lot of "ahh...ohhh..."

ReplyDeleteWow! This is surely different from the normal okras we ate. Its a mysterious one. Do you think this is safe to be eaten?
ReplyDeletebean bag icrib
It's another variety of Okra. safe to be eaten.
DeleteI never have planted this type. How they would taste? same as the green one?
ReplyDeleteTaste same as green one.
DeleteThey are certainly a very striking feature in the garden. I wonder if they turn green when cooked or subjected to heat? How did these taste?
ReplyDeletehaha... they in fact turn green when cooked.
