About Molokhiye

Molokhiye, also known as jute mallow, is a leafy green plant commonly used in Middle Eastern and North African cuisines, particularly in Egyptian, Lebanese, and Palestinian dishes. It is typically prepared as a thick, flavorful stew, often served with rice or bread and paired with chicken, lamb, or rabbit. Packed with nutrients, Molokhiye is rich in dietary fiber, vitamins A, C, and E, and essential minerals like calcium and iron. These contribute to improved digestion, immune support, and bone health. Additionally, it contains antioxidants that help protect the body from harmful free radicals. Low in calories and naturally fat-free, it’s a heart-healthy option. However, the dish's nutritional profile can vary depending on preparation, as some versions may include added oils or animal fats. Overall, Molokhiye is a wholesome, nutrient-dense food celebrated for both its earthy flavor and health benefits.
