OKRA PILAU
Okra has been grown in the tropical regions of Africa for centuries. From there, according to some food historians, it made its way to the Low Country. The Gullah people, descendants of enslaved West Africans, use okra in okra soup, gumbo, okra pilau, fried okra and okra stew. The vegetable has many nutritional benefits: it's rich in vitamins A and C, a good source of magnesium and contains catechins, a type of antioxidant.
