  • Learn about wild mallow (Malva sylvestris) and its benefits as a world renowned gastrointestinal and anti-inflammatory herb.
    Common malva leaves are demulcent in nature and contain a beneficial mucilaginous polysaccharide that helps to soothe and coat the digestive tract, offering benefits as a mild laxative. Mallow or malva is easy to identify and can be harvested as a wild leafy green for use in green smoothies, salads or soups.

      Yes, it does take over as I have watched ours go from a small area to one that is now over 10' square. Funny thing is I pulled it because it was taking over... Now that I know it's edible I sure hope it comes back as I would rather have it in in the garden to keep it from spreading. Happy wild greens eating!

    We have a lot of "wild" malva growing here where I live, near the Archaeological Zone of Teotihuacan, State of México, México. The older residents of the Valley know it can be eaten, but people are (in general) not as poor in this area as times during and after the Revolution and consequently rarely consume it. Most younger folks (including my gardener) aren't aware that it can be eaten. Something kind of comical is that the horses, mules, burros, etc. will only eat it as a last resort, when all of the other wild grazing plants are gone. Thanks for the great video!!!

    I've watched several of your videos and have learned about the Superfoods all around us. I have mallow growing in my yard. I have harvested some last week, cleaned it and ate a small bowl. I enjoy mallow a lot. I've harvested more yesterday. I've found that I prefer to clean them, then let them wilt in a bowl at room temperature. I enjoy eating mallow. I find that it's good to have something to drink while eating them, sometimes they tend to stick to the inside of my throat. Thank you.

    I’ve been eating malvas since I was 2 years old , I’m from a small town in Mexico so I can see why people started eating this plant as it’s so nutritious and cheap. I usually eat it with zuchini and homemade tortillas along with a green salsa. Does anyone else eat it ? If so what part of the world are you from?

    **Are all Malva/Mallow leaves edible? I was told that the leaves that have a purple coloring around the stem of the leave as well as a deep purple flower (as opposed to the pinkish flower) are poisonous. Is this true? Just want to make sure before I or someone else watching this video ends up killing theirselves. Thanks for the knowledge if you can help with this last question as well**

    • @israaisraa9686
      @israaisraa9686 4 года назад +1

      @@SuperfoodEvolution First we prepare the mallow and pick its leaves and then we wash the leaves and cut them into small pieces (we can use the mixer to do this), then in a bowl we do something we call (Mftla) which is that we mix a cup of flour with a little salt and add three spoons of olive oil to it and mix well , then add a little of water and mix them until the mixture appears as small granules and we put a pinch of flour on them so that the granules do not stick together.

      Then we need an onion (cut into small pieces ), a small amount of garlic (cut into small pieces), a little salt, Mftla , cutted mallow leaf, black pepper and water.
      Boil water in a saucepan, then we put the mallow leaf and let it boil , then we add a little salt on it and then add the Mftla gradually, then we add a little of black pepper.
      In a pan, we put a little of olive oil, put it on the fire, then we put onion and garlic over it and mix them to become golden in color, then pour this mixture over the mallow in the saucepan and mix and thus be prepared, and put it in plates to eat.
