This variety really expands the geographical area of who can grow tasty okra, as a pickle bucket is highly mobile for protecting from early and\/or late frosts. I cannot find a history of this variety, other than various versions of the same statement that it is a Louisiana heirloom since the 1950s.<br \/>\nThe Itawamba Historical Society recommends Cajun Jewel as an excellent choice for pan frying. Here is the posted recipe:<br \/>\n\u201cMy favorite method of cooking okra is pan frying. To me, the frozen and heavily battered deep-fried okra usually served in restaurants in no way resembles the home fried okra I have always enjoyed. The best way to prepare pan fried okra is to select small tender pods. After slicing the okra into a bowl, a simple generous dusting with corn meal and an ample supply of black pepper is all that is needed. After tossing the mixture, and adding a little salt, the okra is then pan-fried over medium heat until the batter is a golden brown. The result is a tender fried vegetable with a light crispy crunch.\u201d http:\/\/itawambahistory.blogspot.com\/2008\/09\/country-fried-okra-summer-table-staple.html<br \/>\n<strong>NOTE: For US orders ONLY<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5670,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[93,12],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-5669","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-okra","product_cat-bunny-hop-seeds","first","outofstock","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/5669","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5670"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5669"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=5669"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=5669"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=5669"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
