Corchorus olitorius ORGANIC. A very important crop in Africa and the Middle East, eaten much like we use spinach. Molokhia LOVES heat, and we are excited to offer this delicious green as a healthy and nutritious summertime crop. Direct seed or transplant into the garden after all danger of frost has passed. Molokhia will need full sun and prefers loamy soil but will do well in a wide range of conditions. Water well to ensure good germination. Once germinated, molokhia will need at least an inch of water per week. Annual. Alternative spellings: Mulukhiyah, molokheyya, molokhia, molokha, or mulukhiyyah (Arabic: ملوخية mulūkhiyyah). Commonly known in English as jute, nalta jute, tossa jute, jute mallow or Jew's mallow. Jute is also the name of a fiber made from plants in the genus Corchorus, and Molokhia (Corchorus olitorius) is the primary source of jute fiber. 70 days.
