Notes
There is no set amount of time your okra needs to ferment. It all depends on your personal taste and texture preference as well as how warm or cool your fermenting area is.
A longer ferment time will result in a more sour and softer finished product.
Check daily and move to the fridge when YOUR preference has been reached!
