Double Colour Okra – A Unique Bhindi for Every Home Garden | GIFTA SEEDS

  Hello everyone!! 🌱✨

I’m indeed super excited to welcome you all as we just step into a new journey with hope and confidence in a brand NEW YEAR 2026 💥

We are happy to continue our  new blog series where we showcase our native seeds and tuber varieties, sharing their significance, traditional value, and the importance of preserving them for future generations 🌾

🌿 Okra That Breaks the Pattern

Most of us have grown up seeing okra in just one colour - green. So when Double Colour Okra appears with its beautiful blend of green and red shades, it naturally invites curiosity.

This is not a hybrid experiment or a lab-created variety. It is our native & traditional okra that was forgotten, now reflects the richness and diversity of our seeds.

🌈 Why Double Colour Okra Is Special

🌿 Naturally occurring two‑tone colour 

🌱 Strong native genetics suited to Indian climate

🧺 Produces tender pods when harvested young

🌾 Excellent variety for seed saving

Its unique appearance often becomes the starting point for conversations about native seeds and biodiversity.

🩺 Nutritional & Traditional Value

Okra has always held an important place in Indian kitchens and home remedies:

🍄Rich in dietary fibre, supporting digestion

🍄Helps in maintaining stable blood sugar levels

🍄Supports gut health and immunity

🍄Traditionally recommended for light, nourishing meals

Native varieties like Double Colour Okra are known for their better texture and flavour when compared to commercial hybrids.

🏡 Why Every Family Should Grow Double Colour Okra

🌱 Beginner‑friendly and fast growing

🪴 Grows well even in containers

🌼 Continuous harvest for many weeks

👨‍👩‍👧 Encourages children to observe nature closely

Growing your own okra means fresh, chemical‑free vegetables straight from your garden to your kitchen.

🌾 Seed Saving – One Plant, Many Seasons

Double Colour Okra is ideal for families who want to learn seed saving:

🌸Allow a few pods to fully mature on the plant

🌸Dry and collect the seeds

🌸Store and reuse them for the next season

One healthy okra plant can provide seeds for many future gardens.

This simple act reduces dependency on market seeds and builds true self‑reliance.
