About Jute leaf

Jute leaf, also known as saluyot, ewedu, or nalta, is a nutrient-dense leafy green popular in African, Middle Eastern, and Southeast Asian cuisines. Native to tropical regions, it is commonly used in soups, stews, and sauces for its slightly bitter, earthy flavor and mucilaginous texture. Packed with essential nutrients, jute leaf is a rich source of vitamins A, C, E, and K, along with iron, calcium, potassium, and magnesium. It also provides dietary fiber and antioxidants, which support digestion and combat oxidative stress. Its high vitamin A content promotes healthy vision, while the presence of omega-3 fatty acids may aid heart health. Low in calories yet highly nutritious, jute leaf is an excellent addition to balanced diets. However, those with pre-existing kidney issues should consume it in moderation due to its oxalate content. Widely valued for both its culinary versatility and health benefits, it remains a staple in many traditional diets.
