About Mouloukhiya
Mouloukhiya, also spelled Molokhia or Mulukhiyah, is a popular dish originating from Middle Eastern and North African cuisine, particularly Egypt, Lebanon, and Palestine. Made primarily from finely chopped jute leaves, it’s simmered with garlic, onions, and broth, often flavored with lemon and spices. Served with rice or accompanied by chicken or lamb, it is both hearty and nutritious. Jute leaves are rich in vitamins A, C, E, and K as well as calcium, iron, and antioxidants, which support immunity, bone health, and digestion. It’s low in calories but high in fiber, making it ideal for weight management. However, variations prepared with high-fat meats or excessive oils may add extra calories and fat to the dish. Mouloukhiya’s unique texture, vibrant flavor, and nutrient-rich profile make it a comforting, health-conscious meal rooted deeply in traditional culinary heritage.
