I’m the only person at home who loves to eat Ladies' Finger. My father introduced me to this vegetable when I was a teenage. I was hesitant to eat it as it sticky. Looks a bit *yucks* especially when cooked without chilli. Read more I fell in love with it after one bite. My father told me when choosing ladies' finger, use the thumb to bend the tip of the ladies finger. If it breaks then it’s ‘young’. Get these! The ‘older’ ones won’t break. These are not tender - no crunch. Leave these. An auntie method but quite true. I don’t have a problem with buying ladies' finger because the seller in the market here has ‘baby’ one. It’s only half the length of the normal ones. Really tender. See less
