Fresh Pumpkin Leaves 250g

Squash & Pumpkin leaves are, indeed, edible. In many parts of the world, including Asia and Africa, they are a regular part of the diet when available. They can be steamed like spinach, sauteed in some olive oil with garlic and salt, or used in stir frys. The taste is similar to a mixture of green beans, asparagus, broccoli, and spinach

Pumpkin leaves can be eaten cooked or raw, although the raw leaves have a rough, prickly texture that disappear when cooked. For the best results, choose young leaves while they are still tender. If you wait until your pumpkins are huge, the leaves will be tougher although they are still fine if cooked long enough to become tender.

Pumpkin leaves are high in calcium and also are a good source of vitamins A, B6, C, protein, riboflavin, niacin, thiamin, folate, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and manganese.(source ask jeeves)
