Saluyot Seeds (also known as Jute Leaf Mallow, Jew's Mallow, Egyptian Spinach, Melokhiya, Palava Sauce Leaves, Molokhia, Mulukhiyah, Corchorus, Nalta, and Bush Okra Scientific
name: Corchorus olitorius.

Molokhiya, Jew’s mallow (Corchorus olitorius) is a fast-growing annual. It may have first been eaten by the ancient Hebrews, while in Egypt. It grows up to ten feet tall. The leaves are about 3 inches long, and have hair like appendages at the base. The green angular seeds are produced in small pods that burst open as they ripen. Space the plants 12-18 inches apart.

How to plant seed; direct sow after last frost. You can also plant a bunch in a pot or tray and then separate them for transplanting. They transplant well. Collect seeds from pods that are nearly dry, but have not yet burst open, by clipping off the pods and drying in a paper bag.

Leaves are small, and labor-intensive to remove from the stems. The tender branch tips can be cooked if picked early. as well, and harvesting this part therefore reduces labor.
