It’s not necessary to blanch okra prior to freezing. Okra will tend to get ”slimy” when you begin to cook it, even for the short time of blanching. However, it is very important to freeze in a single layer for best results. Thanks for your question. Have a blessed weekend!
Most of the scraps went to my neighbors chickens; they enjoyed every last bit. A few were saved for my daughter’s chickens 🐓 too. They take good care of any extra scraps I have when cooking. Thanks for watching and I hope you have a blessed day!!!
So this is Freezing OKRA , without blanching. Why others do Blanching of Okra, and then freeze OKRA.

Wash, drain, cut, spread on a sheet, put in oven for a few minutes to heat through, cool, bag…perfect.
Seems very wasteful to throw it in the trash when you can put it in a compost pile😢
