Lady's fingers (4)

I believe the answer is:
okra
'lady's fingers' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for okra that I've seen before include "Green pods, in stews" , "vegetable dish" , "Ladies' fingers with edible pods" , "Bhindi, gumbo or ladies' fingers" , "vegetable soup ingredient" .)
