Production & Sourcing
Harvesting: Fresh okra pods are harvested when they are at the appropriate stage of maturity and size.
Washing and Preparation: The harvested okra pods are thoroughly washed to remove any dirt or debris. They are then trimmed and sliced into smaller pieces to facilitate the drying process.
Freezing: The sliced okra pieces are quickly frozen to a very low temperature. This rapid freezing helps preserve the quality, flavor, and nutritional content of the okra.
Freeze-Drying: In this process, the frozen water in the okra pieces are converted directly from solid to gas through sublimation. The vapor is removed from the okra and preserves the vegetable’s structure, nutritional value and flavor!
Grinding: The freeze-dried okra slices are ground into a fine powder.
And you have your Freeze-Dried Okra Powder!
