Corchorus Capsularis Also known as: White Jute This species provides the greatest part of the jute commerce (burlap, cordage, gunny), with its strong and coarse fiber, about ten times more abundant than Corchorus olitorius, another source of jute. This species is considered to be of the finer quality. Jute yarn has replaced flax and hemp in sackcloth. Sacking is the bulk of manufactured jute products. The yarn is also used in weaving curtains, chair coverings, carpets, and rugs. It is blended with other fibers in making toys, decorative wall hangings, lamp shades and shoes. Also used for rigid packaging, reinforcing plastic, and replacing wood in pulp and paper making. Finely carded and highly absorptive this fiber is used as basis for antiseptic surgical dressings. It is a annual/perennial growing to 3.5 m (11-12 feet) at a fast rate. It is hardy to 30° to 40°F (-1° to +4.5°C).

The flowers are hermaphrodite (having both male and female organs) and are pollinated by Insects. This plant is high in protein, rich in beta carotene, iron, calcium, and vitamin C. It’s eaten as a vegetable in North Africa, the middle and near east, Bangladesh, and South East Asia. It makes an excellent spinach substitute, raw or cooked.

These plants prefer full sun, plenty of water and fertile, well-draining soil. Egyptian spinach (also known as molokhia or Jew’s mallow) is a leafy green vegetable that is popular in Middle Eastern cuisine. Here are the steps to follow for planting and growing Egyptian spinach:1. Choose the right location: Egyptian spinach thrives in warm weather, so it’s recommended to plant it in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. The soil should be rich in organic matter.2. Prepare the soil: Use a garden fork to loosen the soil to a depth of at least 8 inches. Mixing in compost or manure will help provide the plants with the nutrients they need to grow.3. Sow or transplant: Egyptian spinach can be started from seed or transplanted seedlings. Plant seeds about 1/2 inch deep and 6-8 inches apart, then thin them out to a final spacing of 12-18 inches between plants. If transplanting, space the plants 12-18 inches apart.4. Water regularly: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Egyptian spinach plants require regular watering, especially during dry periods.5. Fertilize: Apply a balanced fertilizer every 3-4 weeks to help the plants grow and produce more leaves. Alternatively, you can use a slow-release fertilizer when planting if it is available.6. Harvest: Egyptian spinach can be harvested once the leaves reach a size of about 6 inches. Cut the leaves from the plant, leaving small shoots on the stem to produce more growth.7. Prune: Regular pruning can help keep the plant bushy and productive. Prune the tops of the plants regularly to encourage bushy growth.Egyptian spinach is a relatively easy vegetable to grow, and it’s a great addition to any vegetable garden. With proper care and attention, you can grow a healthy crop for use in your favorite recipes. Thank you for your purchase
