Okra “Slime” Texture: Reduce It With One Quick Tip

If you love the flavor of okra but just do not like its “slimy” texture, you need to know this tip.

Quick tip: After washing your okra, all it to dry.

That’s it.

Most of us probably wash the okra right before using it and cut it up while it is still wet. I do that with all of my vegetables.

If you actually allow the okra to dry, you will have far less slime in your final dish. It may even be slime-free.
