I was watching Self Sufficient Me and halfway through the video he mentioned Egyptian Spinach. I thought this would make another great prepper plant to plant or store seeds from.

Common Names: Bush okra, Jew’s mallow, Jute, Jute mallow, Meloukia, Molokhia, Moroheia, Moroheiya, Mulukhiyah (and other spelling variations), Nalta jute, Tassa, Tasso, Wild okra, tororo no, koshta, saluyot, po krachao, rau day, West African sorrel, Malu Khia, Melokheya, Meloukia, Salad Mallow, Jew’s mallow, Moroheiya

This “food of kings” dates back to the time of the pharaohs, when an Egyptian king drank it in soup to recover from an illness. Modern Egyptians also use Molokhia to make a soup prepared since ancient times that is considered highly nutritious.

A very hardy, fast-growing annual. The young leaves used in salad, older leaves and the shoot tips are cooked like spinach and are high in protein. It self-sows readily. Sow spring and summer. Suitable for subtropical and tropical areas.

The seed is naturally green in colour and is NOT treated. Start seeds in flats or direct sow fairly heavily and thin. This is hot weather-loving green. Plant out after the danger of frost has passed and the soil is warm. It does best in good soil for rapid growth, so continue to provide compost or nutrients throughout the season. Likes full sun, warm to hot weather and steady moisture – mulch will help keep the soil moist. Cut tender top leaves continuously or harvest whole plant and succession-sow.
