Molokhia, also known as "Jew's Mallow" or "Jute Leaves," is a nutrient-rich leafy green widely enjoyed in Middle Eastern, North African, and Mediterranean cuisines. Originating in Egypt, this versatile green is often prepared as a thick, savory stew flavored with garlic, coriander, and broth, served alongside rice or bread. Molokhia is packed with vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A, C, and E, calcium, potassium, and iron, making it beneficial for eye health, immunity, and bone strength. It’s also high in antioxidants and dietary fiber, supporting digestion and reducing inflammation. Despite its health benefits, molokhia's preparation can vary in nutritional value depending on added fats or sodium in traditional recipes.
