About Okra, frozen, unprepared

Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus), also known as lady's fingers, is the slender, ridged green seed pod of a flowering plant in the mallow family, eaten as a vegetable across the American South, Africa, India, and the Middle East. Its flavor is mild and slightly grassy, and when cooked it releases a natural thickening juice that gives gumbo and stews their signature body. Okra is low in calories and rich in fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, and folate.

It can be fried into crisp cornmeal-coated rounds, roasted or grilled until tender, stewed in tomato-based dishes, or pickled, and quick, high-heat cooking or a splash of acid keeps it from turning too slippery. Choose small, firm, brightly colored pods that snap easily, since large ones turn tough and woody, and store okra dry and wrapped in the refrigerator, using it within a few days.
