Can okra be frozen and stored?

If you buy a lot of okra at one time, you may not be able to eat it all in one day, so you need to consider how to preserve it. The best storage temperature for okra is 7 to 10℃, and this refers to fresh okra. If not stored in this temperature range, fresh okra will quickly deteriorate, resulting in a bad taste and loss of nutrients. Okra can be stored in the refrigerator. Here is how to save the derailed.

To preserve okra, you must first understand the characteristics of okra. As we all know, if okra is under high temperature, its respiration is very fast, which causes its tissues to age quickly, turn yellow, and lead to corruption and decay. A large number of scientific experiments have confirmed that okra is best stored in an environment of 7°C to 10°C, and fresh okra has a storage period of about 10 days.

At the same time, be careful not to let okra directly touch ice cubes or ice water, because once the okra touches the ice, the whole okra will become very soft and lose its original elastic taste.

At the same time, it should be noted that because okra is very easy to be scratched and it will turn black quickly after being scratched, whether you are picking or storing it, you should pick it up individually and do not squeeze it. It is best to put them in plastic bags before putting them in the refrigerator and try to keep them lying flat.

It is best to eat it on the same day you buy it. If you need to preserve it, you can wrap it in white newspaper, cover it with a layer of plastic bag or plastic wrap, and then refrigerate it. (It is recommended to eat it within two days, otherwise it will easily become old).

When storing it, you need to be careful. If the temperature is high, the okra will quickly rot and deteriorate. It is best not to keep it in direct contact with ice cubes or ice water when storing it, because the low temperature environment will quickly make the okra soft and rotten. Whether you are transporting or storing okra, you must be gentle, otherwise the okra will easily be bruised, and the bruised okra will change color quickly.
