Thanks to SandHillPreservation.com that we still have a chance to grow this wonderful almost forgotten veggie. It's very easy to grow, don't bother yourself by starting inside. When the leaves are big enough, just cut them, don't pull the whole plant, so they can produce new leaves. I ate one leaf as fresh to see if I can use in salad. I really didn't get any taste. But when it's cooked, excellent taste, aroma and texture. It reminds me okra taste and texture. If you love okra, you'll love this vegetable. My simple recipe is (saute chopped onion and ground beef with oil and salt) then add vegetable mallow leaves, tomato paste, water, very little rice. p.s.: I also have a kind of wild plant growing every year in backyard. The leaves are very similiar. But I don't know if that is also mallow and edible. I don't wanna try because I'm not professional to determine the plants.
