This image features a close-up view of a pile of dried Corchorus olitorius leaves, commonly known as Mulukhiyah. The leaves are stacked on top of each other, showcasing their green, crinkled texture as they dry. The arrangement emphasizes their delicate, papery quality, a result of the drying process. Mulukhiyah, also referred to as Nalta jute, Egyptian spinach, Jews mallow, or saluyot, is a leafy vegetable widely used in Middle Eastern and North African cuisine. Known for its rich nutritional profile, it is a powerhouse of beta-carotene, calcium, iron, Vitamin C, and over 32 essential vitamins and minerals. Often hailed as the "king of vegetables," it surpasses spinach and broccoli in carotene and calcium content by several folds. The dried leaves in the image are typically used in cooking to prepare a mucilaginous soup or stew. When boiled, Mulukhiyah develops a slimy, thick texture reminiscent of cooked okra. This nutritious dish, rich in antioxidants like α-tocopherol (Vitamin E), is beloved for its health benefits and is a staple in many traditional cuisines.
