Washing Up
Yesterday I picked up a large package of unbelievably fresh tiny baby okra pods (some of which I added to a jambalaya last night). Now normally I don't buy many fresh veggies out of season, but these were tiny perfect little things - no longer than 2", crisp, & wonderful.
The label on the package said North Carolina, &, not being a very geographically astute person, was wondering if any portion of North Carolina was warm enough this time of year to produce okra? If not, maybe these were hothouse grown? Or perhaps shipped in from somewhere else?
I'm just curious, because besides when I grow it myself, nice fresh okra like this isn't easy to come across in the supermarket - even when it's in season.
