About Jute, potherb, raw

Jute mallow, the edible leaf of plants in the genus Corchorus, is a nutritious leafy green eaten across Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia, where the same plant also yields the tough fiber used for burlap and rope. Known as ewedu in Nigeria, molokhia in Egypt and the Levant, and saluyot in the Philippines, its tender green leaves cook down into a distinctive thick, silky, okra-like soup. The greens are highly nutritious, rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, iron, folate, and antioxidants while low in calories.

They are most often simmered into a smooth soup or stew, often flavored with garlic, coriander, and dried fish or meat and ladled over rice or eaten with flatbread, and the young leaves can also be added to other dishes. The leaves are usually finely shredded or blended to release their signature body. A short cook preserves their color and nutrients. Choose fresh, vivid green leaves with no yellowing, and store jute mallow wrapped in the refrigerator, using it within a couple of days.
