Mlukheyeh, also known as molokhia or jute leaves, is a traditional Middle Eastern dish popular in cuisines such as Egyptian, Lebanese, and Palestinian. Made from finely chopped green molokhia leaves, it is typically cooked in a flavorful broth, often with garlic, lemon, and spices. Protein sources like chicken or beef may be added, and it is commonly served over rice or alongside flatbread. Rich in vitamins A, C, and E, molokhia leaves are packed with antioxidants that support immunity and skin health. The dish is also a good source of fiber, aiding digestion, and contains minerals like calcium and iron for bone and blood health. While nutritious, the dish’s healthiness depends on preparation; large amounts of oil or fatty meats can raise calorie levels, so lighter versions may appeal to health-conscious eaters. It is a comforting and wholesome addition to any balanced diet.
