Tracy, we've been making okra powder and diced-dried okra (sort of like dried onion bits) for a few years now. We use it as an additive to all kinds of stuff like biscuits, soups, stews, and such, and sometimes just for presentation as a garnish. This past Thanksgiving, I added some to the mashed potatoes on my plate and suddenly everyone wanted to do the same.
For those who make the powders and use them as a garnish, I use an old country trick my momma taught me. Put it in a salt shaker and add in a few grains of rice. The rice absorbs the moisture and also helps to break up any clumps that try to form.
