EDIBLE JUTE 
A strange type of spinach, botanically known 
as (corchorus olitorius, tillaceae) from Arabia, 
called in Arabic “Melukhiye.” Very popular in 
Arabic countries as summer vegetable greens. 
A quick grower. The seed is sown broadcast in 
small beds, which are irrigated. Plants are slen- 
der, tall and marketed by cutting just above the 
ground and putting in small bundles as shown 
in the photograph. Average marketable length 
is about two feet. The leaves and tender growth 
are cooked like spinach. Due to its rapid re- 
growth, several cuttings may be harvested in 
one season. Being an annual in maturity, this 
rare form of spinach can be grown in most of 
our states.
