Molokhia Plant?

Question

Hi and thanks to the responses about growing it in Canada. I have a grocer who has frozen stuff, but was just curious to know if it can be grown here, and just to let you know, in Egypt it is widely grown and we dont eat it with rabbits meat. We eat it with boiled chicken and rice.

Answer 2

Molokhia leaves:  aka jew's mallow, nalta jute, tussa jute, corchorus olitorius

Molokhia leaves - a type of edible green found in the Middle East and used in an Egyptian specialty "molokhia soup". The leaves have a mucilaginous (thickening) quality that helps thicken the soup. The ingredient is rare if at all available in the U.S. fresh but it can be found canned and sometimes frozen in Middle Eastern grocery stores.

PS:  I am not sure where you live but try planting it in its own pot (vs in the direct ground), you may also want to keep it in the shade or indoors where you could monitor its growth.  I am sure the seeds will come with the proper directions.
