Originating from Northeast Africa, okra, also known as "Gumbo," has a rich history dating back thousands of years. Belonging to the mallow family and closely related to flowering hibiscus, this vegetable found its way into the eastern Mediterranean regions through cultivation. The first documented account of okra comes from a Spanish Moor who visited Egypt in 1216.
