In Egypt the traditional Friday night soup for Muslims is called
melokhia. Melokhia is closely related to hemp and jute. It is the
national vegetable of Egypt and widely sold throughout North
Africa, the Middle East and parts of Asia. The leaves of the plant
are eaten young and fresh like spinach. It is mucilaginous like
okra. Often served with olive oil and lemon juice, it can be added
to soups in the last 10 minutes of cooking. Immature seed pods
and young shoots are also eaten.
