Jute leaves, also known as “lalo” or “jute mallow,” are dark green leafy vegetables with a slightly mucilaginous texture. They are derived from the Corchorus plant, which is native to tropical and subtropical regions of Africa and Asia. Jute leaves are widely used in various cuisines around the world, particularly in West Africa and parts of Asia.
These leaves are highly nutritious, rich in vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. They are often incorporated into soups, stews, and sauces, where their mild flavor complements other ingredients. In West African cuisine, jute leaves are a key component of dishes like “Ewedu” soup in Nigeria and “Lalo” in Senegal.
