Wild jute or Corchorus olitorius

The leaves of Corchorus olitorius contain 18.38% ash, 12.54% crude protein, 11.99% crude lipid and 19.56% available carbohydrate. The high energy value of leaves is 200.78 kcal/100 g respectively. The minerals analyzed are potassium (2814.15 mg/100 g) and magnesium (76.69 mg/100 g). The leaves of Corchorus olitorius are rich sources of potassium, iron, copper, manganese and zinc as well as high energy value essential for human and animal nutrition. Its leaves are sticky, so animals eat them with great fervor. This plant grows in Kharif or rainy season at the beginning of the rainy season and produces seeds at the end of Kharif or rainy season.
