Abelmoschus esculentus

Lady Finger, commonly known as Okra, is a popular vegetable in Indian kitchens, especially loved for its tender green pods and versatile use in curries, stir-fries, and dals. This variety, native to the Bangalore rural region, grows to medium height and produces abundant green pods in about 60-80 days. The plant is naturally resistant to pests and diseases, making it perfect for organic vegetable cultivation and home gardening in India.

A member of the mallow family, Lady Finger produces characteristic mucilaginous pods, rich in soluble fibre. To reduce the natural sliminess, it’s often cooked with acidic ingredients like tomatoes. Ideal for tropical and subtropical climates, this easy-to-grow vegetable thrives in full sun and well-drained soil.

Perfect for terrace gardens, backyard plots, and small-scale farming, Lady Finger ensures a high yield of nutritious, fresh pods, adding vibrant green colour and healthy goodness to your meals.
