Okra is a food that is often regarded as boring or bland. However, okra contains nutrients that are essential to good health. Okra is high in dietary fiber, and has several antioxidants. This makes it a very healthful food. Most okra dishes contain starch, but this starch can be removed during cooking by a process called “freezing.” Freezing okra results in a dry, firm exterior and a tender and moist interior.
How To Prep Okra for Cooking
Okra is a member of the gourd family that contains many varieties of edible fruits. It is often served as a side dish or used as a thickener in soups. Okra can be difficult to cook without bursting and turning soggy, so it is recommended to freeze okra before cooking it. Here are some tips on how to freeze okra for cooking: • Wash the okra well and pat dry. • Cut the okra into 1 inch pieces. • Put the okra into a freezer bag or container. • Put in the freezer for at least three days. • The longer the okra is frozen, the more it will be ready to cook.

How to Use Okra
One common cooking method used in West African cuisine is deep frying. Okra (which translates to “flower” in French) is commonly used to fry for eating. It’s often seasoned with a variety of spices, including thyme and cumin. However, okra is also used in West African cooking for broth. Okra can be difficult to find in the United States. Luckily, okra is available in many forms throughout the year. It can be found fresh at the farmer’s market, dried and frozen during the year, and in canned form during the winter months. Though it is commonly prepared in the same ways as other vegetables, some variations are used. Okra can be boiled, steamed, boiled and baked, fried, and cooked in soups. In order to ensure that okra is both healthy and tasty, it is important to understand how to best prepare it.
How To Boil Okra
Okra is a green vegetable often used in cuisines around the world. This vegetable is an excellent source of fiber, vitamins and minerals, and is a good source of protein, vitamins A and C. Okra has a mild and slightly sweet flavor. For the best taste and texture, cook okra until it is tender. This is easiest to accomplish by plunging the okra in water that has been salted. The salting solution will help to draw out the bitter taste of okra. To prepare the okra, cut off the tips of the pods and remove the stems. Slice the pods in half and then into quarters. Dry them in a salad spinner.
