After being TOLD I couldn't grow it up here, I tried for 3 years, by the end of summer, these plants which would normally be taller than I can harvest, would only be about a foot tall, and if I was lucky I would get one or two okra's from each plant... I would have to plant my entire mountain with them to get any kind of harvest.<br /><br />WrethaWrethaOffGridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04941116263529261885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-5474406514227437832012-09-11T08:55:23.005-06:002012-09-11T08:55:23.005-06:00This is one clever idea.

Next day just bag it in freezer bags remove as much air as possible. To fry, just drop it frozen into the hot grease (knock off excess ice crystals). Works well, taste is great (nearly fresh)<br />p.s.

Maybe it depends on the variety? I just freeze it in little slices (uncooked) and pop it into the batter when I have enough for a mess for my family. We ate it last night. Everybody in my family loves it, even those picky kids.

First you want to re=hydrate the okra. Just put it in a bowl and cover with warm water. Let it set until it's reconstituted. THEN you soak it in the beaten egg. Turns out just like fresh fried okra!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01666836930255009486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-22585430036568598132012-08-22T08:33:20.228-06:002012-08-22T08:33:20.228-06:00LOL Sandy!

Sorry for my ignorance. :/ Also, how do you re-hydrate it, just cover it in water and wait? I've never re-hydrated veggies other than to add them to soups and things, and they re-hydrate in the liquid that's already there. I'm dehydrating more and more, and I'd like to learn other ways to use them. :) Thx.Representativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811793207369399757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-49228633690476952512012-08-20T14:56:33.387-06:002012-08-20T14:56:33.387-06:00Sci,

It thickens them nicely and has a good flavor when their young.
