Neighbor smelled the apple smoke and came over to investigate. Said her brother had brought all this Crimson Okra to her house. Said it had just turned that color and he'd never seen red okra before but the week of the Alabama game he wasn't having it in his garden! She said he had his truck full so she brought me some.
I wish it took a better picture cause it is crimson red. The variety is a smaller body, with the old itchy fuss, and its internal seed lines are extremely tuff. I boiled some for supper, had a good slime. I hate the new okra varieties that have reduced slime. I mean its and okra, its supposed to be slimy!
Thought I would share in case you see some in the store, you'll know what to expect.
