How to store okra for long time

 HOW TO STORE OKRA TO STAY LONGER.

2 ways to keep okra for long period of time

Okra is one of my favorites vegetables, infact I can't go 1 week without cooking okra in my home not just because it's a healthy meal with great nutritional value for my kids but part of the main reason is because it's easy to cook not like most of our Cameroonian dishes which usually takes longer time to cook.

However this perfect vegetable has it's  season just like other vegetables and it's during the surplus season that you can buy and keep for when it becomes expensive.

I promise you, Okra saves.  Especially when you can't seem to come up with a menu for your house, you could just whip out okra and cook pepper soup with garri in less than 30 minutes 

I found a trick which has been helping me keep my okra for longer periods ( up to 2+months,)

METHOD 1: 

Use coco leaf to wrap your fresh okra and place in a cool and dry area. usually I keep in a cupboard where i can't mistakenly spill water on it

METHOD 2:

Chop okra into small pieces and dry well. then put in a ziplock bag, suck out the air and keep in the fridge or air tight container.
