Leaves of certain variety of jute crop is being used as edible material in selected country. I am looking for its diversified products.
@ Abhay, yes herbal tea can be made from jute leaves as Vitamins A, C and E are present in it. In fact, in Africa dry jute leaves are using as a substitute of Coffee and Tea. As Corchorus capsularies are bitter in test Corchorus olitorius would be better for the purpose.
Tosa jute leaves are collected from the jute tree.before the flower comes,
After that, the leaves are poured dry-shaped powdered in sunlight. .It will be an alternative to Green tea. Bangladesh- Warmie Acqua Agro Tech, an organization called Jute, has taken an initiative to export and market organic tea made from leaves.
I doubt jute leaves would serve the same way to tea leaves , since tea leaves possess much higher amount of phytonutrients such as caffeine and polyphenols, especially catechins.
