Hey brandy.. My parents come originally from there, and I know what Melokhiya is. From a carb count, calories, nutrition, etc, I used to treat it the same as greens or spinach. Not sure if that's right, but I would think it is; I have no alternative way anyway.

Hooray! Another induction veggie! Thanks Einy. Carbwise, it compares to pumpkin based on 45g servings of each. How did your mother fix it?

hehe.. you are asking the wrong person, .. have no clue, but I can ask her.. but I know you can find it in your local ethnic store in minced leaves form or just long leaves (not minced). As I have been told, the long leaves is how it is being eaten in some other part of the ME... Not sure though.

It's also called jute or saluyot. And it's on the USDA Nutrient Database! http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/ For 100 grams, it has 5.8 grams carbs. No fiber content is listed.
