Okra can turn black when cooking due to a reaction between its natural pigments and certain cooking conditions. High temperatures, prolonged cooking, or exposure to acidic ingredients can cause the chlorophyll in okra to break down and lead to darkening. Additionally, the presence of iron in the cooking water or utensils can contribute to this discoloration. To minimize the color change, it’s best to cook okra quickly and avoid acidic ingredients during the process.
