Yes you can eat okra raw if you want too and if you want to eat the entire okra plant raw you can do so as well.

The whole entire okra plant is edible and can be used in salads and other foods if you want to eat them raw.

I prefer to cook my okra before eating the okra because it tastes better and it's much easier for me to chew okra when cooked.

When I was a kid and had better teeth I would sometimes snack on raw okra out of our garden and I lived.

So yes if you want to eat some raw okra or okro which is the same thing you can do so.

But I'm sure you'll find okra much more enjoyable when it's cooked because it will be better tasting and also be much easier to chew and digest.
