DRIED EWEWU POWDER (GROUNDED JUTE MALLOW LEAVES) Ewedu (Jute Mallow, Corchorus olitorius) is a highly nutritious leafy green vegetable widely cultivated in West Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. When dried and ground into powder, it becomes a convenient, long-lasting ingredient for preparing the classic Nigerian Ewedu soup — a mucilaginous, flavorful soup traditionally served with Amala (pounded yam). These leaves have slightly bitter taste and a distinctive slippery, gelatinous texture when cooked, making them an excellent natural thickening agent for soups and stews.
