Dehydrator Revival : Dug out our Clinton era American Harvest, ordered a new one and searched and found this on okra, although most probably already know what I did not.

Dehydrated Okra
Not Just For Southern Cooking!

Okra offers protein, vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, and B6. And when dried it’s an interesting flavor addition to dehydrated back-country meals.

Sliced Okra is easily dehydrated and retains those same qualities it did when fresh. Choose bright green plump pods that are unblemished. Blanch the whole pods for 2 minutes, slice into ½ inch pieces disposing of ends and stems. If you live in the colder areas of the country fresh Okra may not be available, so in that case use sliced and frozen Okra, just rinse the frozen well before drying. If your dehydrator has a thermostat, and fan it should take about 12 hours.

Interesting!

Here is a page with solar cooking and dehydrators:

Good stuff to know about okra.

I wonder what it tastes like raw. I should get a little bit and see if it is good. Granny, do you know?

Love fried Okra, but I am only good for a bit of stewed...

I am sure you know what I mean... LOL

Just a quick thought, I wonder if you ran dehydrated okra through the blender, if it would work as a thickner for sauces, soups, stews???

I dry tomatoes to just about crisp and then blend them - then I add it to soups, sauces, even salad dressings.
