Dried Molokhia, also known as Jute leaves, is a unique and flavorful leafy green often used in Middle Eastern, North African, and Mediterranean cuisines. The leaves of the Molokhia plant are harvested, then dried to preserve their nutrients and rich taste. Once dried, the leaves have a deep, earthy flavor that becomes tender and slightly mucilaginous (similar to okra) when cooked.
When rehydrated, dried Molokhia is commonly used to make a traditional, hearty soup or stew, often served with rice, chicken, or lamb. Its slightly bitter, herbal taste blends beautifully with garlic, coriander, and lemon, adding depth and richness to dishes. The texture is smooth and silky, making it a comforting and nutritious base for meals.
Molokhia is also known for its health benefits, as it’s rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as fiber, iron, and calcium. Whether used in stews, soups, or as a vegetable side dish, dried Molokhia offers a distinctive and nutritious addition to your cooking repertoire.
