About Molokhia
Molokhia, also known as jute mallow or Jew’s mallow, is a nutrient-rich green widely used in Middle Eastern, North African, and Mediterranean cuisines. Originating from ancient Egypt, this leafy plant is often prepared as a flavorful soup or stew. It is packed with essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A, C, and E, potassium, calcium, and iron, which support immune function, bone health, and cardiovascular wellness. Molokhia is also a notable source of dietary fiber, aiding digestion and promoting gut health. Its antioxidants help combat free radicals, contributing to overall cellular protection. While it is largely considered healthy, its preparation often involves oils or broths that can add extra calories, so moderation is key. Molokhia offers vegetarians and vegans a valuable plant-based option that’s versatile and nutritious, making it a staple in many traditional dishes across its regions of origin.
