Clemson Spineless 80 Okra
Clemson Spineless 80 is the definitive heirloom okra — an AAS gold medal winner producing smooth, tender, bright-green pods without the irritating spines of older varieties. Deeply beloved in Southern cooking, its pods are rich in natural thickeners that give gumbos and stews their characteristic silky body, and they are delicious battered and fried, grilled, pickled, or roasted until lightly charred. A tall, striking plant with beautiful hibiscus-like flowers that are ornamental in their own right.
