Okra – Fresh, Green, and Perfect for Soups

Bring home the wholesome goodness of fresh okra, one of the most popular and loved vegetables in Nigerian and West African kitchens. Known for its rich texture, mild flavor, and natural ability to thicken soups, okra is a true staple in traditional cooking.

Okra is best enjoyed in okra soup (ila alasepo), a Nigerian favorite often paired with garri, pounded yam, semovita, or fufu. It can also be used in seafood okra, vegetable mixes, and stews, blending beautifully with meat, fish, and spices to create hearty, flavorful meals.

At Debire Food Store, our okra is freshly sourced, carefully selected, and packed for quality and taste. Naturally rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, it is not only delicious but also nourishing for the whole family.
