Description

planting okra from fresh seeds Angola Prison OkraAngola Prison Okra is an open pollinated heirloom variety historically grown on the Angola Prison Farm in Louisiana. Unlike many heirloom vegetables that are remembered for family gardens or local farming traditions, this variety is tied to a more difficult chapter of American agricultural history. The variety takes its name from the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola, a 28 square mile prison farm established on the site of a former plantation.

Angola Prison Okra is an open-pollinated heirloom variety historically grown on the Angola Prison Farm in Louisiana. Unlike many heirloom vegetables that are remembered for family gardens or local farming traditions, this variety is tied to a more difficult chapter of American agricultural history.

The variety takes its name from the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola, a 28-square-mile prison farm established on the site of a former plantation. For more than a century, inmates cultivated thousands of acres of crops including corn, tomatoes, squash, and okra. The prison farm remains one of the most self-sufficient correctional facilities in the United States, though its labor practices have long been the subject of public debate. Seed saver John Coykendall noted that he was told this variety was favored because the plants remained relatively short, allowing guards to more easily monitor prisoners working in the fields. Whether viewed as an agricultural heirloom or a historical artifact, Angola Prison Okra serves as a reminder that not all heirloom seeds come with a charming story. We preserve and offer this variety not as an endorsement of that history, but because preserving heirlooms also means preserving the lessons and stories that accompany them.

Plants typically reach about 5 feet in height and produce abundant yields of ribbed green pods. The tender pods are best harvested at 4 to 5 inches long and are excellent for frying, pickling, gumbo, and other Southern dishes. A productive, heat-tolerant variety that continues bearing until frost. Matures in 60–70 days. Each packet contains a minimum of 50 seeds.

Not sure it's pure Batana oil
I'm not a botanical expert, so I may be totally wrong about this, but based on the ingredients, I don't think this is pure Batana Oil. The ingredient list (typos included) reads: "Elaeis Oleifera Kernel Oil, Babassuamide DEA, AscorbicAcid, Phytosterols, Carotenoids, Vitamins c." The last 4 ingredients might just be components of the oil itself, rather than additives. But Elaeis Oleifera (American Palm) Kernel Oil is Batana oil. But Babassuamide DEA is an oil that comes from the kernels of the babassu palm, not the American palm. Sure, it's still "palm kernel oil", but if I wanted just any ol' palm kernel oil, then I'd use some out of the cooking oil bottle in the kitchen and save myself a buck. I wanted 100% Pure Batana oil. I also can't figure out why the description talks about it containing Vitamin E, when that isn't listed as an ingredient. If it's been added, then it definitely needs to be listed on the package. If it's a natural chemical part of the oil itself, and the same is true of the Vitamin C listed, then why not list both separately? Or is the Vitamin C listed because it's been added despite them saying it's pure Batana oil? I don't know. So if you just want some kind of palm kernel oil to moisturize your hair, and you're not particular about whether or not it's really pure Batana oil, then this might be the oil for you. But, if you're a stickler for purity, maybe not. And there are lots of cheaper Batana-type palm oils out there that aren't true Batana, if price is more important to you than purity.

This product makes my hair smell good and shiny. You only need to use a small amount for results. I am sure my hair will grow since oil is good for your hair.
