• Seeds & Flesh: Tender outer wall surrounding a hollow interior filled with small, edible white seeds and natural moisture.

• Texture: Crisp and tender when quick-cooked, with a smooth, velvety texture that softens as it cooks down.

• Cultivation & Sourcing: Grown in warm, sunny environments with regular watering, harvested young while pods are slender and flexible to ensure maximum tenderness and steady year-round supply.

How to Use
Wash the lady fingers thoroughly under clean running water and trim the stem ends as needed. Keep them whole or slice them according to your recipe. They can be stir-fried with garlic or chilli, simmered in curries and asam pedas, or blanched and served with sambal belacan. Lady fingers can also be added to soups and other vegetable dishes. Avoid overcooking if you prefer a firmer texture.

Nutritional Benefits
Lady fingers, also known as okra, are a source of dietary fibre, vitamin C, vitamin K, folate and other nutrients. They also contain naturally occurring antioxidants and mucilage, a type of soluble fibre that gives cooked okra its characteristic slightly slippery texture. Lady fingers can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet.

How to Store
Keep fresh lady finger refrigerated until ready to use. Store it in a breathable bag or suitable container to help maintain freshness and avoid excess moisture. Wash the pods just before cooking and remove any damaged or discoloured pieces. Use while the pods remain firm and fresh.
