how long does cut okra keep?

[mener6896]

I have okra out the wazoo!! I've been putting it in the refrigerator, but I was wondering how long it will keep in there?

IME, not long. If I'm not going to use it in 3 or 4 days, I freeze it.

By all means, freeze it if you can. I can't seem to grow any decent okra here where I live, so I buy it in the store, frozen, already sliced. I rinse off the frozen okra under water, shake it dry, dredge in cornmeal, salt and pepper and fry in oil in my cast iron skillet. YUMM! That is the ONLY way I'll eat okra by the way.
