Large chunks, sticky texture

Fresh okra is cut into large pieces and is soft enough to be eaten raw after rubbing and washing. It retains its color and shape even when heated, and you can enjoy the unique sticky texture of okra.

For example, raw okra tends to become soggy when heated, whereas dried okra has a chewy texture. Furthermore, raw okra becomes watery when frozen, but dried okra can be stored crisply for a long time.
