Howell, Carole

Abstract:

Howell appealed to readers, Southern and not, to try okra. According to the author, appeal is based on its nutritional value, year around availability, and varieties of this plant. As for the appealing features of tomatoes, the author defines them by features perhaps regarded as conventional: variety of uses and health benefits. As for another reason, perhaps unconventional, it’s this long time debate: is it a fruit or vegetable?
