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???<<<
That would be interesting, do you have some of the dried okra?
It will take a powerful blender, I suspect.
Maybe through the meat grinder first and them through a blender.
If it works, it would be a good binder in meatloaf, potato patties, etc.....I suspect.

Not right now... I have refrained from planting okra because only a couple of plants will give you a whole summers worth of okra and need to be picked every couple of days.
Since fried okra is the only way I can get the rest of the family to eat it, and if you let it get too mature, it is very tough and fibrous, I haven’t raised it in a while.
Will have to try it again this year.
