Description
Fresh Okra Box (Mexican-grown) is raw, whole okra sold in bulk for making okra soup and other West African draw soups from scratch. Mexican-grown okra is a common, good-quality source available year-round in the UK, with the same mucilaginous texture and mild flavour as African-grown okra.

- Trim the stem ends, then slice or chop finely — the smaller the cut, the more the characteristic 'draw' texture comes through in the finished soup.
Perfect for
- Okra soup (draw soup)
- Seafood okra
- Stews and stir-fries
Storage
- Store in the fridge crisper drawer and use within 3-5 days. Chop and freeze in portions for longer keeping.
Frequently asked
Is Mexican okra different from African okra?
It's the same vegetable grown in a different region — similar texture and flavour, and a reliable year-round source.
How small should I cut the okra for soup?
Finely chopped or grated okra gives the most pronounced 'draw' texture; larger pieces give a milder thickening effect.
