If you try to put fresh sliced okra in a sub you are going to end up with an inedible mess.
The longer one cooks it the thicker the 'slime' will get. This is one reason okra is often used to thicken soups. However, if you pan-fry sliced okra in butter or oil on medium, and constantly stir it, the thick slime will completely dry out. The okra will shrivel somewhat, but there will be NO slime. This is a long process, but well worth it. Don't be alarmed if the okra and/or seeds turns dark or even somewhat green-black. That's gooood eatin'! It will be a little crunchy and provide that breaded and fried okra taste without the deep fry. This method does not work particularly well with frozen okra, which kind of turns to mush. Fresh is best.
Okra that has black spots should not be eaten. Okra pods will be green and firm when they are fresh.

Try sprinkling your okra or any other plants with talcum powder.It is an organic alternative to harmful pesticides. Try a product called Diatomaceous earth. Its sold at most gardening places and will deter ants from the plant if sprinkled around the base of the stalk. It works because it consists of fossilized diatoms. One celled fossils, that if magnified look like porcupines. Ants have segmented bodies and these points irritate the ants bodies where the segments meet to where they do not return. Its safe to handle with the bare hands, 100% organic and is not poisonous.
For whole okra, trim the stem just shy of the pod, cutting into the pod will cause the pod to dry even if frozen. Then bring a pot of water with a dash of salt to a full boil and blanch the okra for about 3 minutes. Next shock the okra in a pot of ice water for a few minutes. Then pat dry with a paper towel, and place into a freezer bag and press as much air out of bag aspossible, seal and freeze.
