Ground Cherries are related to tomatoes and the fruits, which are contained in a papery husk, are actually harvested once they fall off the plant. They taste unusual, somewhat like a tomato mixed with a strawberry. Okra is well-known in Southern and Indian cooking and can be eaten raw or cooked. It’s known for its slimy texture, but cooking at high-heat reduces this greatly. Edamame are green soybeans and they are usually boiled or steamed and flavored with salt and seasonings. The pods are not eaten.
