Ground Molokheya

Description

Ground Molokheya – 50g and 100g

Ground molokheya is a fine powder obtained from dried leaves of koreta, also called molokhia or jute. This green plant has been cultivated and consumed for centuries in several regions of Africa and the Middle East. It stands out for its nutritional richness and its unique texture in cooking.

Once cooked, molokheya releases a slightly glutinous consistency, close to that of okra. This makes it an excellent natural binder in sauces, soups or stews. In Egypt, it constitutes the basis of a national dish. In West Africa, it complements simmered dishes and goes well with rice as well as cassava.

Thanks to its sweet and herbaceous taste, this powder combines easily with other ingredients such as soumbala or néré. It brings velvety flavor to preparations without masking the other flavors. In addition, its use does not require any particular technique. Just add a teaspoon to a broth or sauce at the end of cooking.

Nutritionally, molokheya is naturally rich in iron, calcium, fiber and vitamins A and C. It supports natural defenses and promotes good digestion. It is therefore an ally of choice for a healthy diet, rooted in African culinary traditions.

The leaves are harvested when fully ripe. They are then dried in the open air, then crushed without additives. The powder is packaged in airtight sachets of 50g or 100g, for optimal conservation.

You can incorporate it into many recipes. It instantly transforms a simple sauce into a complete, nourishing and fragrant dish.

A rare spice, to incorporate into your dishes to rediscover the original flavors.
