How to freeze fresh whole Okra

0 1
I have an abundance of fresh okra, and would like to freeze it to cook later in Gumbo.  Can I just freeze in bags fresh or do I have to prepare it first?

They do sell it frozen in NY so I would boil water- blanch it for a few minutes and ice bath it......then when totally cold drain it  and dry it and cut it in slices and put it on a metal tray and freeze it...if it sticks...bang the tray it comes out and bag and freeze it for soups or gumbo.
