What Is Okro?
Okro (also known as Okra or Abelmoschus esculentus) is a staple vegetable in African, Caribbean, Asian, and Middle Eastern cuisine. Known for its slimy texture when cooked, it’s rich in dietary fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins. Okro is commonly used in soups, stews, and sauces for its thickening quality and health benefits.
At Mountaintop Worldwide Export Limited, we supply fresh whole okro, sliced and dried okro, and powdered dried okro to meet diverse culinary and retail needs globally.
