Okra is a seed pod of the plant , Abelmoschus esculentus, which is used when young as a vegetable .
When the pod matures it is dried and powdered and used as a flavouring .
Okra is 5 to 10 cm long , green with deep ridges and full of seeds .The seeds release a gelatinous material when cooked .
In the Middle East great care is taken not to cut the pod as the gelatinous material is not popular , and the pods are treated with lemon juice and salt prior to cooking .
