The word okra is from the Igbo á»Ìká»¥Ìrá»¥Ì. The plant and its seed pods are also known as lady's fingers. In various Bantu languages, okra is called (ki)ngombo or a variant, and this is possibly the origin of the name gumbo, used in parts of the United States and the English-speaking Caribbean.
Okra originates from Egypt and there are Egyptian manufacturers of frozen okra, but we do not know what seed they use. Here is the Montana site if you wish to contact them: http://www.montanaeg.com/ Hope this helps.
