Have you ever tried okra?
This lesser-known vegetable certainly deserves more attention! 
Beyond its distinctive taste, okra is rich in fibre and has numerous health benefits: it helps keep blood sugar and cholesterol at normal levels and supports cardiovascular and digestive health. 
Two special varieties are grown at VRDS Buzau:
Smaranda – with green fruit
Adela – with garnet-red fruit
The pods are harvested according to their intended use: for preserves, for vegetable stew or for eating fresh. 
We invite you to discover the taste of okra and, why not, to grow the Smaranda and Adela varieties yourself!
