Did You Know Ewedu Is Regarded As Food For Royals In Egypt? by Draslo(m): 9:23pm On Jul 25, 2022 |
I want to stop this stigma people give to Ewedu. It is sickening. Ewedu is called Molokhia in Egypt. There are few greens more nutritional. There are many ancient folklore tales that revolve around this historic and mysterious plant. One tale explains that when the Hyksos tribe invaded Egypt 3600 years ago, they forced the Egyptians to eat molokhia/Ewedu/jute leaves thinking it was poisonous. The Egyptians not only survived, but thrived after eating the plant, finally wrestling their country of Egypt back 100 years later from the Hyksos. In another story, an Egyptian king had indigestion problems, and after consulting every doctor and trying every remedy, he found the one doctor that gave him molokhia, which fixed the problem. Hence the leaf was called molokhia which means royal or majestic in Arabic, as it became the cherished and healing food of kings. Nutritionally, molokhia/Ewedu/jute has three times the calcium and phosphorus as kale, and four times the amount of riboflavin. It also provides 70% of the RDA value for Vitamin C, 25% of the RDA of Vitamin A, as well as potassium, calcium and magnesium–actually more than 32 vitamins in all. Aside from aiding digestion, molokhia is also purported to boost the immune system, lower blood pressure, improve bone health, as well as reduce bloating and insomnia. If you check Jumia you'd find jute tea that's excellent for anyone managing hypertension. Next time you want to label a Yourba person a consumer of Ewedu, remember that a former world power and ancient civilization regarded it as fit for royals 1 Like

It’s eaten in some parts of Igboland an. all (Nsukka). It just depends how it’s made. Yoruba ewedu is definitively rank. |
