My plants are 10' 2" tall this morning. I just cut 19 pounds and going to give this method a try. Based on the current supermarket price of $5.99/12 ounces, I cut $151.00 in okra this morning.

My papaw used a trail cam to record is okra overnight once, we sped up teh footage and we watched it grow an inch over night

Just love okra.. I'll be growing it now that I saw how easy it is.. I see what a learning process this has been for you this year.. I'm very proud of what you've accomplished.. well, you and Justin 😊

I love fried okra, too; from my Southern Alabama roots!

Thank you that was the temperatures and times I needed my okra starting to come on and I’m getting about 3 gallons a day. I use a chamber vacuum sealer, which makes it a little more time-consuming because you’re not supposed to seal warm products so after I take it out of the oven I actually have to let it cool down to at least room temperature. Thank you for your demonstration.

Here's an interesting fact: Okra is in the Malvacae family. Cotton and Hibiscus are also in that family.

This is a great video. Thanks for sharing!

You have inspired me to get busy and get veggies ready to put into my upright freezer!

Looks great.

Thanks for the tip! It looks easy too. I will store some okra this way. 😎🌱❤

Hi Kaye! My favorite is southern fried okra too! You can slice and roll in your cornmeal mix and spread them put on a cookie sheet and freeze, then put in ziplocks in the freezer. They won't stick together and you can take out as much as you need when you are ready to cook them. Thanks for the shout out on your live regarding my mangalitsa pigs! Love you, Terrie Allred Clarkton NC

Good information

my husband loves okra too. he grew up in the south. i like hearing the stories of your childhood and you grandmother.

I will have to try this! I am hoping my okra keeps producing! I am going to grow more next year, also. I need to start planning my garden for next year. Somethings were not thought out well this year. We had medical issues in our family this spring and I planted the garden just to get it in without much thought about where the best placement would be. I love my garden! Thanks for sharing!

Loved it thank you dear one

I thought I only liked pickled okra aka Texas Pickles. Then I had fried okra in Alabama. Changed my life!!!!

my dad used to make the best pickled okra, miss him and those days

Yes lol it grows like it's on speed! Mine is really producing this year

Great video. I grew okra for the second year; this is the first year I've been successful at it. I have so much that I had to search for information on how to freeze it. Your instruction is much more straightforward and easier than I though the process would be! Two questions: Would you recommend shrink wrapping vs just putting in a Ziplock bag? And, how long will frozen okra last in the freezer? Thanks for the instruction.

That is the way my grandma used to cook okra! Rolled in cornmeal and southern fried! It’s the best!

Thank you I am going to do my okra this way so I can have in the fall or with some fish frys.

I'm a northerner who loves okra! I don't fry it but I do roast it with a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper. I also like it in soups.

All my university sources, including LSU say to oven-blanch the sliced okra for TWENTY minutes, not 3. I am increasing my okra crop next year here in NM. It LOVES our blast furnace summeers!

Oh my gosh we love okra especially rolled in cornmeal!

Different way of freezing okra. I will do this way----- and compared to the other way I have been freezing okra. To see what is the difference. Will do it tomorrow, in Sha ALLAH. In sha ALLAH, in Pakistani language means GOD WILLING. Nothing wrong with saying in Sha ALLAH. HALLE-LU-JAH. IN-SHA-ALLAH

Finally an abundance of okra here in Central texas. To the point I need to freeze some. I searched for freeze okra, and guess which video came up first! I've watched it before, but I need the refresher!

SUBSCRIBED!

I place the straw in the corner of the nearly close bag and suck the air out, than close. :)

This is the best, and most convenient way of freezing OKRA. FOR 3 minutes , in oven --- 300 degrees. And then Freeze.

It was a pleasure chopping with you!

Thanks

Great video

Great video again! I have been eating it raw, out of the garden. Today I tried it ony salad which consisted of Tuna salad 1.pickled egg one okra, lettuce, tomatoes and cold cushaw with balsamic vinegar the okra was very good in a salad. It never occured to me that okra might be tasty that way as well I hope you group these preservation videos together for quick access. Loving it,!

Thank you. Great help today as our okra is still producing!! And here’s a compliment for you…you are such a pretty woman. Your hair is gorgeous. Wish I could see how you fixed it in the back.

I love okra any it is one of my favorite things to eat I even like it raw.

Your video is the first I came across. I am no skilled chef but my plan to is to fry them with some serrano peppers. Probably every 3rd-4th one will be a nice little surprise. Thanks for the tips. God bless

Okra is placed in oven 300 degree fot 3 minutes---- and then put into freezer.

Try Okra. Next season try to steam it. I don’t eat fried things because of my sugar issues. Thanks Kaye.

Your okra looks so good! I do wonder though, by putting the okra in the oven does this stop the mucilage. Some people do not like the 'slime' where other people do like it so it slips down the throat. They think it is a good way for children to enjoy for future meals. What meals did you make with your frozen okra? Good idea about labelling bags.! X L from London, England

Would there be any benefit to breading it before freezing? Does it keep fresher by not battering it?

I used this method to freeze some okra, this past summer. How would you go about using it to fry, now? Seems thawing, breading, frying might lead to soggy, slimy okra. Thanks for the video.

This is how I freeze my okra for years

Is there a difference with the oven method vs flash freeze. The process is the same in each method. Just wondering.

Did you let it cool before bagging it and putting it in the freezer

How do you fry them?

Do you let the okra cool completely before putting it in the freezer?

You will need a good generator for your freezer if power goes out. It would be a shame to loose it all because of no power.

Well, I know my MIL just cut and froze most of her veggies on a tray before bagging. Certain things she did blanche. I googled freezing okra and it said to BLANCHE OKRA, AND i KNOW THAT ain't right............LOL tHAT WOULD BE A SLIMY MESS..........so trying your method today. I got nothing planted this year (wet / cold wet/ freeze), actually too wet and windy for me to mess with. Two hip replacements before 70 so careful where I walk, but think I'm now gonna get some okra seed in the ground cause this supermarket freezer stuff just doesn't cut it anymore. Everything turns to mush or either tough and stringy. Anybody sell anything other than "steamables" these days? They don't hold up to a big stock pot of veggie soup. I cook the heck out of my beef and then start adding peas, etc in accordance to how long it should take to almost cook them. Just picked up a basket of okra from a local farm stand. They only had one left out. It's really just heated up here and humidity kicked in too, I know okra performs well in the heat. It's just me so I don't need a bumper crop. I like it boiled, sauteed and fried. Taught my Grands to eat it the same ways. Yeah, I'm THAT GRANDMA. Try it at least. And I got collards, turnips/greens for a fall crop too. Gonna sew some herbs too. Those I do blanche unless you have a better method? I guess I need to look at my seed packs again............lol

Can we put it in the microwave

300 C or 300 F?

Did you save the okra water for your house plants

The MOTB is coming and you can't slow or stop it. Creeping Totalitarianism comes via ENGINEERED CONSENT...such as using smart phones debit cards etc Worry is sin. All for now, thanks for the okra tutorial it's helpful.
