I always trim off the ends of okra before cooking it in any form. I can only see leaving the ends on when pickling and I'm not sure why. I guess its because all of the pickled okra that I eat has the caps on and it gives me a handle to hold when eating.Okra is just fine raw, when I'm picking I always eat at least one right off the stalk. I love it fried too but most people cut it up then bread it with flour/corn meal before frying...but give this a try, trim the caps off the ends and then bread it and fry it whole...makes it easir to get a good even fry plus it's easier to eat.
I usually also put up a bushel of boiled peanuts in the freezer in zip lock bags...a bushel will yield about 35 bags. Take 'em out of the freezer and put them in the microwave for 5 minutes and you're good to go.
