Malva, also referred to as high mallow or common mallow, is an herbaceous perennial used in the past as a food source and for its healthful qualities. Malva sylvestris is recognized by its lobed, dark green leaves and showy, purple-pink, five-petaled flowers. Mallow leaves can be used in hearty broths, soups, and sauces. Mucilaginous in nature, malva leaf can also be prepared as an extract, herbal infusion, or applied externally.
