Indulge in our premium Freeze Dried Okra Pieces, meticulously crafted in China's top - notch factories. Retaining the original nutrients, flavor, and vibrant color, these crispy pieces are a healthy and convenient snack. Ideal for direct consumption, adding to salads, or enhancing the flavor of soups, they offer versatility in every bite.
Freeze-dried okra is made from freshly harvested, sliced okra pods that are flash frozen and then slowly dehydrated in a vacuum chamber. This sublimation process:
✅ Maintains nutritional integrity (fiber, vitamins C and K, folate)
✅ Preserves structure, color, and seed integrity
✅ Prevents microbial growth by reducing moisture to <5%
✅ Allows instant rehydration with hot water or broth
✅ Contains no added sugar, preservatives, or oils
The result is a clean-label, shelf-stable vegetable that fits into modern food trends and operational systems.
At Merry Time, we supply Freeze Dried Okra in bulk and OEM formats to meet the requirements of global food processors, importers, and health-focused product developers. Our solutions are ideal for both industrial and retail markets, and fully customizable according to your supply chain and branding needs.
Benefits of Freeze Drying for Okra
Freeze-drying okra enhances its value as a high-functioning food ingredient:
Superior Crispness – Popular as a stand-alone snack or crunchy topping
Preserved Nutrients – Antioxidants, fiber, and mucilage content remain intact
No Additives Needed – Clean-label compatible for health-focused products
Quick Rehydration – Recovers near-original shape and mouthfeel
Ambient Logistics – Storage and transportation without cold chain
Compared to air-dried or oven-dried okra, freeze-dried varieties offer significantly improved structural retention, taste clarity, and consumer acceptance.
