Frequently Asked Questions About Deve kulağı (Mallow leaves)
How do you cook mallow leaves?
Mallow leaves are commonly cooked by sautéing or simmering them until tender. Wash and chop the leaves, then cook with onion and a little oil; add a splash of water if needed and serve with lemon or yogurt.
Can you eat mallow leaves raw?
Yes, young mallow leaves can be eaten raw once thoroughly washed. Add them to salads or sandwiches; older leaves may be tougher and more fibrous, so cooking them usually gives a softer texture.
What do mallow leaves taste like?
Mallow leaves have a mild, gently earthy flavor, often compared with other leafy greens. Their soft texture becomes slippery when cooked, which is why they work well in soups, stews, and sautéed dishes.
How do you identify edible mallow leaves?
Edible mallows typically have rounded or shallowly lobed leaves and small flowers, but several plants can look similar. Do not eat wild leaves based on a description alone; have the plant identified by a reliable local expert before harvesting.
How do you make mallow leaf soup?
Mallow leaf soup is made by simmering washed, chopped leaves in broth until tender, then seasoning to taste. You can add onion and potato for body; blend it for a smooth soup or leave the leaves whole for a more rustic texture.
Can you freeze mallow leaves?
Yes, mallow leaves freeze well for later cooked dishes. Wash and trim them, blanch briefly, cool them quickly, and drain thoroughly before packing in portions. Use the thawed leaves in soups or stews rather than salads.
How should you store fresh mallow leaves?
Store fresh mallow leaves in the refrigerator, unwashed and loosely wrapped in a paper towel inside a bag. Wash them just before use, since trapped moisture can make tender leaves spoil faster; discard any that become slimy or smell off.
Are mallow leaves and marshmallow plant leaves the same thing?
Mallow leaves come from plants in the mallow family, which also includes the marshmallow plant. The names are related, but plants sold or gathered as mallow leaves are not automatically the same species as marshmallow; identify the plant before use.
Can you eat the stems of mallow leaves?
Yes, tender mallow stems can be eaten, but thicker stems may stay stringy after cooking. Separate them from the leaves and chop them finely; add the tougher pieces earlier so they have more time to soften.
Do mallow leaves become slimy when cooked?
Yes, cooked mallow leaves can develop a slippery texture because they contain mucilage, a naturally occurring plant substance. This is normal, not a sign of spoilage, and the texture can help give soups and stews a thicker body.

What is Deve kulağı (Mallow leaves)?
Mallow leaves, known as deve kulağı in Turkish, are the edible leaves of a mallow plant and a traditional wild green in parts of Turkey and the wider Mediterranean region. They taste mild and leafy; once cooked, their texture turns tender with a characteristic silky, slightly slippery quality. Across Mediterranean and Middle Eastern kitchens, they are commonly simmered in soups or stews, or cooked down with onion and olive oil, sometimes alongside other greens.
They provide fibre and vitamin C while remaining low in calories. Younger leaves tend to be more tender, so use them in a quick sauté or stir them into a soup near the end of cooking. A squeeze of lemon makes a bright finish.
