Vegetable with pentagonal cross sections (4)

I believe the answer is:

okra

(Other definitions for okra that I've seen before include "vegetable dish" , "Pod eaten in soups, stews etc" , "Bhindi or lady's finger" , "Ladies' fingers with edible pods" , "Edible seed pods" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and the Universal.
