I did that about 10 years ago. And really liked the results. My problem is that I went away for about 10 days on biz and came back to find that most of the crop had gotten too big for my tastes. So dehydrated them. Some I sealed up in vaccum sealed bags and stuck in the freezer and the rest went into dark jars. That way I could decant what I needed in small quantities, but the rest was out of bright light or frozen and kept really fresh for years. Think it took me about 5 to 6 years to work through all of it....probably had about 3kg total of it. Yummmmmmm....this year, I literally haven't gotten any fruit from the okra plants I grew. They grew to be about 3 ft high and were quite bushy...even set flowers at one point...but dropped all of them. Sighhhhhhh. Oh well...will try again next year.

Will be interested what anybody else has to say about this idea.
