okra | katei2

One day when I grow an okra, the back of the leaf, the stem and so on

I noticed that there were a lot of transparent crushes like images.

what's this? (;´･ω･)

What kind of insect egg? I'm scared because there are so many ...

As a result of various investigations! I understand the identity.

The identity of the transparent squash is

Mucin! So mucin!

What is a mucin? (´･ω･｀)

Mucin is a sticky component of okra and is a glycoprotein.

Of course, it's okay to eat, and it seems natural to have this transparent crushed. (^ ◇ ^)

When you grow an okra, sometimes the surface is crumbly or grainy? There was a protrusion like that.

Did the insect lay something? Or I was worried about whether it was OK or not, so I checked it.
（｀・ω・´）

Something like a bumpy protrusion in Okra is called Ibo confectionery .

There are sizes from sesame grains to rice grains

The cause is mainly due to insufficient light or low temperature.
(If you don't recognize these two, it may also occur when fertilizer is insufficient (especially Chisso) or when the soil is overhumid)

There is no harm even if you eat it.

As a countermeasure,

Move to a sunny place and lightly plow the soil around the stock so as not to cut the roots (to supply oxygen)

If you add fertilizer and have a lot of leaves, it is better to leave about 2 leaves under the okra fruit and cut the leaves underneath.

Okra grows well in the hot midsummer, so it must be a warm vegetable.

I was interested in the history and origin of Okra.

（｀・ω・´）

Okra's place of origin
seems to be considered to be Africa (around South Ethiopia).

From there, it spread around the Mediterranean Sea, the Balkan Peninsula, and India.

In this area, Okra is called ladies' finger or bindi and seems to be a classic ingredient.

It is especially loved and loved by thick soup.

Okra history

Slaves brought from Africa in America in the 1800s

It seems to have spread from where the cheap okra seeds were sown instead of coffee.

Yup? Does that mean that if you roast okra, it will become a candy? (/・ω・)/
Let's experiment next time

When I raised Okra, I realized that I often consume Okra unexpectedly in my home.

As a variety of condiments, tempura, etc. (I did not buy so much before going to the home garden w)
(^ ◇ ^)

Since I live in a condominium, I examined various things to see if the amount of okra harvested would increase in the current environment.

（｀・ω・´）

How to increase okra yield

When I looked at various books and examined them, there was a method that I did not do about two.

that is··

This is a method that leaves a few leaves from the place where the okra fruits are harvested, and then cuts them off.

This was written to prevent the extra nutrients from being sucked by the leaves and increase the yield.

And another way is

It is said that it is raised in three.

Until now, we have planted seeds and selected good shoots from them to grow a single okra seedling.

But! (; ･`д･´)

As a way to grow okra, it was written in several books when the amount of harvest increased when growing in three or four stands.

I have to try this! I'm writing this article in the fall, so when it gets warmer, try three-stands

As a result, I would like to report once the yield has been verified. (^ ◇ ^)

Delicious okra in natto condiments or tempura
(^ ◇ ^)

Even if the delicious okra is condimented or eaten with tempura, the texture is good.

So, this time, I will make an article on how to distinguish delicious okra.

There are two points to distinguish delicious okra.

1． Things that clearly show the top corner

2． The green color is not too dark and the hair is growing uniformly.

These are the two. . (^ ◇ ^)

I would be happy if you can refer to this time when buying okra.
