Jute Leaves, also known as Ewedu in Nigeria and Molokhia across North Africa and the Middle East, are a highly nutritious green vegetable cherished in many African and Mediterranean cuisines. These tender leaves are valued for their smooth, slightly slippery texture when cooked, making them perfect for soups, stews, and traditional dishes.
Packed with vitamins A, C, and E, along with calcium, iron, and antioxidants, Jute Leaves are not only delicious but also promote good health by supporting digestion, boosting immunity, and strengthening bones. In Nigerian cuisine, they are famously used to prepare Ewedu soup, often paired with amala, fufu, or rice.
Whether you’re recreating authentic African recipes or exploring new healthy greens, Jute Leaves bring both flavor and nutrition straight to your kitchen.
