Are we eating the wrong part of okra? Kevin Mitchell worries that okra’s rich nutritional benefits are lost to those wary of its sliminess. The Savers travel Georgia seeking better uses. In Pitts they taste okra seed oil at Oliver Farms. In Milledgeville, at Comfort Farms, they meet Jon Jackson’s Motherland Okra, grown for its greens. Chef Kevin prepares African-style okra leaves with smoked fish.

The Savors of Flavor
With every growing season, the South risks losing ingredients that shaped its flavor, history, and culture. Chef Kevin Mitchell and food historian David Shields race to find and rescue them before they vanish. Part documentary, travelogue, and cooking show, The Savers of Flavor traces history from fields to fine dining, from humble tables to celebrated restaurants, coast to foothills and between.

Interesting how you have made this oil, do you have a website I would love to buy some ?
Why has pbs production quality bombed so much. I used to watch all the time but I can’t seem to make it more than a few minutes these days because it’s like watching public access channel stuff
"We call that runnin' through the Okra patch." – Fred Smoot.
"Okra is the closest thing to nylon I've ever eaten." – Robin Williams.
"I love fried okra. The fact that it's okra makes me feel like it's good for you – I forget the fact that it's fried." – Jason Aldean.
I'm gonna try my best to finish this, but I hate this type of show. I miss the quality documentaries; this seems like it's trying to be a reality show, which I hate, with the clunky dialog–like they're trying to have a real conversation, but it just sounds so fake and scripted. I don't care about the personalities in the show, I just want to hear about the okra
Edit: I'm sorry, I tried, I can't finish…such a shame
I saw this show before – when Sean Brock did this 15 years ago.
Fried, stewed , pickled, or grilled ! Hands down one of my favorite veggie's
