Freezing Okra The Way A Farmer Taught Me

Freezing okra the easy way! A farmer here told me how to Freeze okra his way. Its so easy! I just love to talk to them. I bought half a bushel of okra and he asked how I put it up. I told him that I did it just like Sweet Hunters Granny told me. (Link below). He proceeded to tell me another way. So I decided to try it. You just take your okra and out in a black garbage bag and freeze. I did it two ways on this video. I flash froze some and then put in ziploc bags. Then I just separated out in to gallon ziplocs. He swears it works. I know I do other veges this way. We will see. I love easy!!!

Okra is one of those things that people either love or hate . I love okra. Pickled or any way you want to cook it, it's great. I really enjoy your videos. Listening to your southern accent makes me long for my childhood days with family.

[@ourforeverfarm]

Awe. You are so sweet. Anytime I can ring the memory bells of home is what I long to do. Thank you so much. You made my day. I love okra too!! Make sure and ring that little bell and subscribe! A thumbs up would be a blessing.

[@carollynn197]

I have always frozen my okra straight out of the garden in the plastic grocery bag. Then take out a mess, rinse in a colander and slice while partially frozen. I’ve never had it stick together in the freezer.

[@ourforeverfarm]

That’s so good to know. Thank you so much.

[@bungalobill7941]

I use a blowdryer to to dry vegetables if they are wet before freezing. Put them on a towel first and then in a large bowl and turn them by hand while blow drying. Just keep it far enough away so they don't heat up. Works good on peas after blanching.

[@kathleengreen9788]

Great video Val! I used to do my okra like that put whole in freezer, now I cut it up and put in food saver bags, so then all I do is thaw out about halfway and then add my cornmeal in the food saver bag and fry. We love it that way and so much easier. Love your backsplash😍

[@ourforeverfarm]

Oh that’s good to know!!! Thank you for sharing. I’m in love with my backsplash. I think it’s so pretty. I love reading your comments. It means a lot to me.

[@Reese1025]

Love the backsplash! Love love okra! Fried, pickled, in a Cajun dish you name it! Also, purple hull peas are my favorite!! Can’t find those in KY. I got hooked when we lived in KC, our Pastor was from Siketson,MO they got me hooked!

[@ourforeverfarm]

Awe. Thank you!! So glad to see this comment. Prayers for you always.

[@kk7757]

I wash my okra and let it dry overnight. Then sluce it it bite sized pieces and place in vacuum seal bags. I seal it on the gentle setting and freeze. Thaw gently to prepare for frying. I dip the okra in buttermilk and roll in flour/cornmeal mixture, then fry. Mmmm delicious!

[@ourforeverfarm]

Yummy. Sounds so good. Thx for sharing your way.

[@ritawetherald9256]

I really want to know how to season a iron skillet Please

@@ritawetherald9256 Since everyone trusts Martha S. I thought I would give you her video on this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/amfRg36XmLWKhtU ✨🦋🍃🌼🍃🦋✨

[@ynot2nite1]

the black bag is the best way to freeze okra ,and they don't stick together. I have been doing it for over 25 years . When you cook it it taste fresher than anything, just as if you just got it out of the garden. You just take what you want to cook, wash and cut it. The reason you put it in a black bag, is to keep the light out of it .

[@wealthfernandez1606]

Do you wash before freezing?

[@m.theresa1385]

Ok! I’m just gonna bag it up and throw it in the freezer. I’ll cut it up once when I’m ready for it . Thanks!

[@ourforeverfarm]

You will be amazed!!!!! I was! Easy!!! Thx for watching.

[@scrapbooker47]

Love okra!

[@ourforeverfarm]

Me too!! Thx for watching and commenting. Make sure and subscribe if you haven’t.

[@lanatrest2393]

I do my green tomatoes like that and when frozen I take them out and place them in a freezer bag. When I want some I go and take out how many I want to eat and they are not stuck to each other so that I can bread them and fry them.

[@ourforeverfarm]

Love love love this. Thank you. I do my whole tomatoes like this. But never thought of green ones. Thank you.

[@YellowRoseoftx]

Great video and I will try this, I like to freeze too.. lol! I really like your backsplash, very attractive 😎👍🏻 also I shop local on every single thing I possibly can. Only way

[@ourforeverfarm]

Thank you so much. I love you freeze too. I’m very proud of my backsplash. Waited for months to get it done. I love buying local too. And seasonal. Thank you for watching.

[@MsSindyLouWho]

Super excited! Hubby just bought me a deep freezer today! Time to get to fillin' it up & we love okra! Love your shirt too!

[@ourforeverfarm]

I’m excited for you. I’m looking to buy another one really soon. Where did you find yours??

[@MsSindyLouWho]

@@ourforeverfarm went to Home D but they didn't have any in the small size like I wanted so we went to a discount appliance store (here in Charleston) and got it there for $150, just to get me started! :)

[@atiqrahman7289]

Love OKRA.

[@ourforeverfarm]

Me too! Thx for watching.

[@huddyshobbies8261-z4f]

Thanks for sharing.

[@ourforeverfarm]

You are welcome.

[@OurBestLifeYet]

This is amazing. Can't wait to try.

[@ourforeverfarm]

I know. I was intrigued. He says it’s as simple as putting in a garbage bag in the freezer and pulling out what you need. I love to talk to farmers.

[@katking367]

I don't think I've ever had okra, but I bet it's good fried. And all I kept thinking is you must have a very big freezer!! :o)

[@ourforeverfarm]

I have several freezers. Lol

[@CC-gy5zp]

Thank you for sharing that with us. Love fried okra!😃

[@ourforeverfarm]

I love it too any way you fix it. Thx for watching.

[@reneesouther6076]

Those are huge messes of okra even for a large family. What is your favorite way of using okra?

[@IntentionalHomesteading]

How did this method work for you?

[@ourforeverfarm]

Wonderful. I love it.

[@juliejackson3333]

I'm worried it would be slimy when you cut it up. And mushy.

[@carollynn197]

It won’t be after it’s cooked

[@ourforeverfarm]

Maybe while cutting but after it’s cooked I think it will be perfect.

[@ourforeverfarm]

Carol? Are you the one that said this is the way you freeze?

[@19950toc]

Turn up your volume please

[@ourforeverfarm]

Mine is up. I’m sorry. I do tend to talk low. I’ll try to do better. Thank you for watching.

[@CC-gy5zp]

Maybe her mic was further away this time but it sounded just fine to me. You might have to turn it up on your computer.
