What is "mulukhiyah"

Mulukhiyah, mloukhiya, molokhia, molohiya, mulukhiyya, malukhiyah, or moroheiya is the leaves of Corchorus olitorius commonly known as Nalta jute and tossa jute. It is used as a vegetable. It is popular in Middle East and North African countries. Mulukhiyyah is rather bitter, and when boiled, the resulting liquid is a thick, highly mucilaginous broth; it is often described as "slimy", rather like cooked okra. Mulukhiyyah is generally eaten cooked, not raw, and is most frequently turned into a kind of soup or stew, typically bearing the same name as the vegetable in the local language.

Mloukhiya is also the Moroccan term for okra, which goes by in Algeria and Tunisia and elsewhere in the Arabic-speaking world and the Eastern Mediterranean.
