About Thai Okra
Thai Okra is a premium okra type prized for slim, uniform pods and a mild, slightly sweet flavor.
Harvested young for tenderness, it delivers the characteristic okra silk that gently thickens sauces and broths—perfect for Southeast Asian curries and modern wellness menus.
At GP Farms in Florida, we harvest frequently and pre-cool immediately, then maintain a strict cold chain for dependable wholesale quality.

Culinary Uses
- Thai curries & stews: Add near the end for tender pods and light thickening.
- Stir-fries: Sauté quickly with garlic, chili, and fish sauce or soy.
- Soups: Works in clear broths and hearty gumbos alike.
