How to choose fresh and delicious okra
- Choose fresh, young okra pods, small in size, with a beautiful shiny green color, and a thin layer of fuzz on the outer skin.
- Do not choose pods that are soft or have bruises on the outside, as well as those that are too large, as they will be old okra that doesn’t taste good.
- Gently press with your hand; if the skin is crispy, firm, and not soft or dented, it is fresh, young okra.
