Substitute:

Common mallow can be substituted for the family relative Corchorus olitorius aka jutes mallow,



Adultrants:

The seed pods can be substituted for most of the egg white if wanting to make mallow meringues

Controversy:

Mallow has similar properties, but is considered to be inferior to the marsh mallow (Althaea officinalis) and are seldom used internally

Commercial value:

The seed capsules look like cheese, in which the disk-shaped seeds are pressed against each other and sitting in a circle. The plant can be used as cut flower and is an excellent bee and butterfly plant.
