About Jute leaves
Jute leaves, also known as Molokhia, are a nutrient-dense leafy green commonly used in North African, Middle Eastern, and Southeast Asian cuisines. Originating from the jute plant (Corchorus species), these tender leaves are prized for their slightly bitter, earthy flavor and slimy texture when cooked, making them a staple in soups and stews. Rich in fiber, vitamins A, C, and E, and key minerals such as calcium, iron, and magnesium, jute leaves support bone health, immune function, and digestion. They are also high in antioxidants, which help combat inflammation and oxidative stress. Notably low in calories and fat, jute leaves are an excellent choice for weight management and heart health. However, individuals with kidney issues or gout should exercise caution due to the plant's moderate oxalate content. Often enjoyed fresh, dried, or frozen, jute leaves are a versatile and nutritious addition to a wholesome diet.
