Blanched Mrenda

Blanched Mrenda (Jute Mallow) is a nutritious, leafy green vegetable that has been briefly boiled or steamed to soften its texture while preserving its natural color and nutrients. Known for its slightly slimy consistency when cooked, blanched mrenda is rich in fiber, iron, calcium, and vitamins A and C. It has a mildly earthy flavor and is commonly used in traditional African dishes, often paired with ugali or added to stews for a wholesome and healthy meal.
