Chinese Okra

Seed #177
This variety of luffa gourd is cultivated for the tender and sweet flavor of its immature fruits. Despite the sharp ridges running along the green skin of these club-shaped fruits, they do not need to be peeled before being cooked and eaten. Vines produce fragrant yellow flowers. Fruits grow quite bitter if left on the vine to maturity. You can cook this variety of luffa as you might zucchini. Thin slices can be added the last minute to stir-fries or soups. Thicker slices are perfect for steaming or deep-frying. Chinese okra is also delicious stuffed with pork and braised.
- Maturity: Approx. 90 days
- Planting season: Late spring to early summer
