STORAGE:

Okra is sensitive to chilling injury (discoloration and decay) when exposed to temperatures below 45°F. Temperatures above 50°F cause yellowing and toughening. Okra stores best with high humidity. If you store it in your fridge, use it as soon as possible, and keep it in a plastic bag towards the warmest part of your fridge (upper shelf or near the front). Storage life: 7-14 days.
