Ingredient Overview
Okra is known for its tender pods and naturally mucilaginous texture. Freeze-drying provides a dry form of the fruit for use in vegetable ingredient blends.
Okra powder is made from freeze-dried Abelmoschus esculentus fruit. Okra is known for the way its fruit contributes texture when prepared with water. The freeze-dried powder brings that vegetable material into a dry format for recipe development. It can be considered in savoury mixtures where both the flavour of okra and its contribution to body are relevant.
