DURHAM CHRON 1 CLE THE VALUE OF OKRA AN IMPORTANT FOOD PLANT THAT IS MUCH NEGLECTED. lt- Nutritive Properties Ar. 7017 High and It In Particularly Bene- ficial In Case: at Chronic Indiges- tionâ€"Some Simple Recipes. Okra is a very important and useful plant. with numerous uses, the most important being for the table. The green pods without doubt make the finest soup vegetable supplied by the garden. Cooked whole they also fur- nish a palatable side dish. The nu‘ trlent properties of okra are very high. and It has the additional advantage of To the honest mind the best perqui- sites of a place are the advantages it gives for doing goodâ€"Addison. being an exceedingly wholesome arti- do of food, It is erroneously called gumbo in many cook books and even In some encyclopedias. The name of the plant and its fruit is okra. Gumbo u a general term for various kinds ol’ Ioup made of it. Okra, In fact. is an excellent food much neglected. In the south the taste for okra is uni- versal, possibly an inheritance. Else-- where it may, like that for the olive, have to be cultivated. But the taste does not require much cultivation. and, once acquired, it is a permanent pos~ session. Any housewife can .do her own can- ning of okra. Slice and boil the okra until two-thirds cooked; put in a hot jar. fill full, seal tight and place in a dark closet; if desired, add strained tomatoes and boil until the okra is thoroughly cooked, but be careful in either case to omit salt; put up in jars as above. By following this method okra soup may be had throughout the winter. hopelessly disordered ularly beneficial food entery and chronic im The dried seeds, pm are said to make an stitute for coffee. A rowroot can be mad< tains a s The outer gether Wi plant, fur: As okra is tivated W As okra is easily raised, it can be cul- tivated with profit. For table use the pods must be cut while tender, generally when about three inches long. They grow rapidly and soon become woody. The plant is very prolific, and it will continue to bear until touched by frost. A small patch will more than meet the require- ments of an ordinary family, and the surplus may be preserved for winter use by two convenient methods. The easier is by drying. Slice the pod, crossways, into sections a quarter of an inch thick. Spread thin on large dishes or trays and expose to the sun from day to day until thoroughly dried. Put in jars or close cans and keep free from moisture. The other method of preservation is by canning, which will be explained later on. The plant is foliacious and ornamental enough for the flower garden. The leaves are large and palmatisected, and the blos- soms, which in form resemble those of the hollyhock, are at first a brilliant gold, with a purple disk. After the first day the gold also takes a purplish hue. okra also makes a palatable vegeta- ble dish. but in this form it is not al- ways acceptable on first acquaintance. Its substance is viscous, and for that reason probably does not at once cap- tivate the taste. Put the pods, Whole, into boiling water, with salt; boil about fifteen minutes or until cooked; pour off the water, place in a hot dish, and pepper and plenty of good butter; serve hot. Cooked in this way, treated with good vinegar and served cold, it makes a good salad. Here are some of the best recipes for cooking okra: Okra soupâ€"Take a piece of beef or a marrow bone, put on in cold water and boil until cooked. Slice one quart of okra pods crossways into thin sections and add, with enough strained ripe tomatoes to give the soup gnmbos, chicken, fish or crab, are made in the same manner. An excellent soup can be made with- out meat by boiling the okra, sliced as above, and adding when cooked a gaml sized piece of butter. Other vege- taEâ€"iios, such as carrots, onions and celery, may also be used, but lovers of okra prefer it straight. Soup made as above will keep in a cool place for sex-n eral days and improve with age. A savory dish for lunch or dinner is made in the following manner: Butter 4 padding dish, put in a layer of cook- ed or half cooked rice, a layer of sliced okra. a layer of ripe sliced tomatoes, butter. pepper, salt and a little sugar if the acid of the tomatoes be objec- tionable: repeat the layers until the dish is filled: grate breadcrumbs on (up. with pieces of butter; pour in as much boiling water as the dish will hold: bake long enough to cook: serve hot. i i l l l I a rich color. Continue to boil until the okra is thoroughly cooked, which will take about fifteen minutes. A green pepper, from which the seeds have been removed, sliced and added. will improve the flavor.
