Description

Mulukhiyah is the leaves of Corchorus olitorius commonly known as Nalta jute and tossa jute.It is used as a vegetable. It is popular in Middle East, East African and North African countries. Mulukhiyyah is rather bitter, and when boiled, the resulting liquid is a thick, highly mucilaginous broth; it is often described as “slimy”, rather like cooked okra. While most scholars are of the opinion that mulukhiya’s origins lie in Egypt, there are also those who believe India to have been the source.
