tortoises are the other ‘pests’ that love them. And human animals like me, lol
just like moringa(the other leafy green i strongly recommend if one’s growing conditions permit) there are anecdotal reports of egyptian spinach being medicinal. While i can’t really vouch for any of moringa and molokhia’s medicinal value, i can definitely vouch for both’s nutritional values.
would also like to add what many websites don’t mention: that molokhia is one of the nutritionally-dense vegies that are the least likely to have side effects when eaten in large amounts.
spinach and carrots are excellent nutritionally but have high oxalate contents which can cause kidney stones
cruciferous vegies as cabbage, bok choi, and broccoli are powerhouses as well, but may cause thyroid issues and should only be eaten moderately.
only caveat with molokhia is that it should be treated as an annual even though it is actually perennial. Once it starts fruiting, glycoside content of foliage increases(maybe not deadly to humans but can be bad for reptiles and rabbits). The pods also have high glycosides. Thankfully in most temperate regions, molokhia die as soon as winter sets in, but will usually have produced enough mature pods that will pop when moistened, spreading seeds all over the place which will survive cold winter(at least vegas’ low temps) then germinate in warmer weather by spring.
if one hasn’t noticed it yet-- me yakking about it should be enough hint that strongly recommend molokhia as much as i do jujubes! And just as have been happily broadcasting juju seeds/budwood/rootcuttings to as many people as i can, am just as happy broadcasting molokhia seeds .
and hopeth that thee who receiveth also giveth them away…
to twice as many people 
below are volunteer molokhias that germinated from seeds scattered from last year’s crop that were originally grown at the concrete planter higher up. Take note of its drought- and heat-tolerance, as the partly visible okra --which is itself quite tolerant of heat and dry soil already started getting sad, but the molokhia;s are still riding high and proud
