Jews Mallow

One source (Brittanica Online) lists it as a source of jute, so perhaps it’s a mispronunciation of “jute’s mallow.” Or maybe it was used also for its liquid, so it could be a misspelling of “juice mallow.”

Or, maybe it was commonly used by Jews in the area in which it grew and was thus associated by name.

Goq the Mallow Plant produces a kind of Fruit. The fruit was used (thousands of years ago in Europe) to make the treat we call Marshmallow.

This is a yummy soup! My family and I love it! My kids ask for it all the time! It’s a green leaf that gets purreed,and then frozen. You can buy it at any middle east grocery along kings highway or ave u or ave p in flat bush. All you do is boil chicken in a big pot full of water,and when it’s done,in a separate little frying pan you sautee crushed garlic with dried coriander in oil until it gets dark brown in color and when it does,you toss this mixture into the pot with the chicken and broth. Voila! You just made what’s called in Arabic as molochaya! It can be eaten with white rice or pieces of pita bread broken into bite size pieces and thrown into the bowl. You don’t put rice or bread in the pot,you serve yourself a bowl of molochaya and then you add the rice or bread to each serving. Yum!

Goq~ I also saw that show & was taken aback by what they were describing as ‘slimey’ Jew’s Mallow. I had never heard of it before either.

yup! … yum, soba (buckwheat)pasta brittle atop faux ice cream, lol 😉

Like the “Jew’s harp” which is really a “Jaw” harp
