Bert's Foods uses a
revolutionary
vacuum frying technology.
Vacuum frying
allows our okra to cook at a lower temperature, improving the
quality of the product and providing a healthier alternative over conventional frying.
Our process allows Oh My Okra
to maintain its original colour, shape and nutrients of the okra.
