Origins, Migration, and History of Domestication
Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) is an old crop of African origin, with the species generally traced to northeastern Africa, especially the Ethiopia–Sudan region, before spreading through North Africa, the Middle East, India, and the Mediterranean world. From there, okra traveled widely through trade, migration, and the forced movement of African peoples across the Atlantic, becoming deeply rooted in the foodways of the American South.

The most famous and widely available red okra. Tender low-spine pods are produced in abundance. Great for raw use (okra straight off the plant is the best way to eat it!) or cooked in most application, though in many preparations the color fades to green (another reason to eat it raw!).

The Red Burgundy okra (also known as Burgundy okra) is a striking variety of okra that is well-loved for its ornamental beauty and culinary uses. The Red Burgundy okra produces deep, vibrant burgundy-colored pods that stand out among the green foliage. The pods are slender, ribbed, and grow to about 6-8 inches long, though they're often harvested when shorter (around 3-4 inches) for the best texture and flavor. The plant itself features attractive burgundy stems and large, pale-yellow flowers with a maroon center, adding a decorative touch to gardens. The plants can grow to be around 4 to 5 feet tall, giving them a stately presence in a vegetable garden.

The pods of Red Burgundy okra are tender and flavorful when harvested young. They can be used in:

    • Gumbo and stews: A classic ingredient in Creole and Cajun cooking.
    • Frying: Breaded and fried for a crunchy snack or side.
    • Pickling: Preserved in brine for a tangy treat.
    • Grilling and roasting: The pods hold up well to high heat, bringing out their natural sweetness.

Growing Conditions:

Red Burgundy okra thrives in well-draining, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.5). Like most okra varieties, it requires full sun (6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily) to grow properly. Okra is drought-tolerant but does best with regular watering, especially during hot weather. Okra is a warm-season crop, and Red Burgundy okra particularly thrives in hot, humid climates. It can tolerate heat very well but is sensitive to frost.

Okra pods should be harvested when they are 3-4 inches long for the best flavor and tenderness. If left on the plant too long, they become tough and fibrous. Frequent harvesting encourages continuous production.

The Red Burgundy variety is not only prized for its beauty and flavor but also for its adaptability to a wide range of growing conditions, making it an excellent choice for home gardeners looking to add some color to their vegetable garden.

Their other flavors without fizz are great...but not this one (My honest opinion).
Now I know why this one was so cheap! The taste was not pleasing to me at all... I threw it away. However, I do love their other lines, with the berry flavor being the best! Orange is good too but to obtain the best flavor, 2 spoons are required (for me anyways). Also, the berry flavor (while only taking 1 spoon) is even better tasting if you add a little lemon juice to it. Finally, I read that adding lemon juice to water helps to prevent kidney stones! Who knew! This is a good product but I think they went to far trying to add "fizz".... the effect was negative while the previous products are great!
