Corchorus olitorius
Légume feuillu largement consommé en Égypte et au Moyen-Orient sous forme de soupe molokhia, utilisé médicalement pour les troubles digestifs et nutritifs.
Corchorus olitorius, commonly known as molokhia, is a leafy vegetable widely consumed in Egypt and the Middle East. It is used medicinally for digestive and nutritive conditions, with modern evidence supporting its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and digestive-supportive properties. Key active compounds include flavonoids, vitamins, minerals, mucilage, and phytosterols.
The mucilage content in Corchorus olitorius forms a protective coating on the gastrointestinal mucosa, reducing irritation and supporting digestive health. Flavonoids such as quercetin and kaempferol inhibit pro-inflammatory enzymes (e.g., COX-2, LOX) and scavenge free radicals, contributing to anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Phytosterols may modulate cholesterol absorption, while vitamins and minerals provide nutritive support. The presence of natural cardiac glycosides at low levels can weakly inhibit Na+/K+-ATPase, potentially affecting cardiac function in sensitive individuals.
