The natural mucilage it releases when cooked gives the dish a velvety, okra-like body; this is Egypt's national dish molokhia. In Turkey it is common in the cuisine of Hatay and Antakya.
Consumption tip
Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
