I've had those grains of salt things on my stems every year. They have not affected production in any way. I think they might be seccretions from the plant. Fyi, if you rip all the leaves off the plant it will surely die. Leaves take in light and that in turn makes okra. Not sure what that person was thinking telling you to rip all the leaves off, hope you didn't do it.
