Okra(オクラ)is widely used all over the world and is known by several names. In some parts of the world, it is called “lady’s fingers” because of its long shape. In other areas, it is known as “gumbo,” which is believed to have come from “quingombo,” a Portuguese corruption of the word “quillobo.” The latter is the native name of okra in African countries, such as Congo and Angola. In France, it is known as “gombo,” while in Spain, it is named “quibombo.” It is called “Bhindi” in India and “bamies” in eastern Mediterranean and Arab countries.
