Seeds of Climate Change
CORCHORUS OLITORIUS
Molokhia, or jute mallow, is a leafy green vegetable that thrives in hot and dry landscapes with restricted water resources. It is characterized by fast growth which allows for quick harvests and improves food security in areas with unpredictable weather. Molokhia is a valuable crop for sustainable agriculture because it is a food rich in vitamins, minerals and fiber with an ability to thrive with minimal resources in challenging environments. This nutrient dense leafy green vegetable has a slimy consistency so it often is added into soups and stews– it is often used in Middle Eastern and North African cuisine.
