Description: Molokhia - Egyptian Spinach Seeds This "food of kings" dates back to the time of the pharaohs, when an Egyptian king drank it in soup to recover from an illness. Today, it's one of the most widely eaten vegetables in Egypt. In the Philippines, it is called "saluyot" and is widely grown for the leaves. Prepare fertile, well-drained soil. Sow seeds in late spring/summer after last frost in a warm, sunny location. Or start seeds inside 6 weeks before last frost date (or 8 weeks before expected transplanting date). Transplant when it has 6-7 true leaves. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. When plant reaches 24" tall, pinch back to promote lateral branching and a continuous harvest of young shoots and leaves. When cooked, Molokhia has a mucilaginous texture like okra. Use sauteed and as a green in soups. Leaves are dried for tea. Egyptian Spinach Seeds - Molokhia. Heirloom, Non-GMO. Corchorus olitorius.
