Review by: Col_TempThis is a very good product.Freeze dried okra is a bit fragile so expect there to be lots of seeds from the Okra in the bottom of the bag. The Okra smells like fresh okra and moistens up and looks like good old slimy okra, just like it is supposed to be.
Only real complaint is the fact that even after hydrating and cooking there are piece with VERY hard fibrous strands. I have had this issues with FD Broccoli as well where the fibers from the stems remain hard and sharp if bitten into the wrong way.
As an aside, a 5lb Bulk box is a crap load of Okra! After opening I end up with a 6 gallon bucket full, around 10-12 #10 cans full to the brim along with several 1.5 quart mylar bags full. Needless to say I have given away a bunch of it!
Since there is no where else to get this from except North Bay I am still glad I purchased.(Posted on

Review by: SherryLike eat okra flavored popped corn without the hulls.I love this stuff right out of the bag. My granddaughter loves everything we ordered from here right out of the bag including shallots and she is so picky but not when it comes to freeze dried fruits and vegetables. This okra is the best okra for gumbo. It isn't slimy and you can put it into the bowl of people who do like it without putting it in the whole pot.

Easy to Prepare
- Use alone as a dry snack or add to veggie trail mixes.
- Use dry for a crunchy effect in salads and, while serving, cooked rice and cooked pasta.
- Add dry during the last 5-10 minutes of cooking soups and stews that have sufficient amounts of broth.
- For most other applications, hydrate by soaking for 5 to 10 minutes in a generous amount of cold or hot water (hot water works slightly better). Then drain.
Yield — 1 oz equals about 3 cups dry with very low moisture content.
Rehydration Ratio — 1 lb of freeze dried okra, once rehydrated, equals approximately 11 lbs of fresh prepared okra.
Storage — Best if used within 24 months of purchase. Store tightly sealed and minimize exposure to heat and humidity.
