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.
