12 Edible Leaves from a Permaculture Garden 🌿Can you eat the Leaves?

Take a look at what leaves I have in my Permaculture garden that are surprisingly edible!

Learning what parts of plants are edible is something I'm incredibly passionate about. So let's get straight into it and start off with a new plant I have just planted here to help cover the gap in my back fence....

Young pumpkin leaves finely chopped n stir fried with butter, pepper n salt are to die for!!

[@danruinsfood4002]

Did you know that every part of the sunflower plant is edible? Sunflowers are edible from root to stem to leaf to petals tobthe whole flower to the whole seed. You can fry up the buds or flowers and stir fry them in olive oil with salt or bacon grease, and the Buds taste as good as artichokes. Not quite, but a similar flavor! Some people wait until the flower has bloomed or started to produce young immature seeds, then they stir fry. I have not waiting for my buds to flower.

[@williammay2332]

Me too. I had cut one back a few weeks ago so now I have a bunch of new growth that I will be trying.

[@FullStarSky]

Yes. You can eat mulberry leaves raw or cooked. They help you have better sleep.

One other edible leaf from a vegetable that's not usually grown for leaves is chili pepper. Traditionally in the Philippines it's used in chicken stew.

[@anukulkarni2979]

Greetings. Would you mind sharing whether you always dry passion fruit leaves before using for tea, or do you routinely use fresh leaves as well.

[@FullStarSky]

All melon leaves and young shoots are edible. For example cucumber leaves, young luffa leaves. Also leaves of ginger, galangal, turmeric.

[@matchpoint14]

Blueberry, Blackberry, Hostas, Day lillies (entire plant) Pine needles, tomatoe, bell pepper all are edible leaves. Do Blackberries grow in Australia?

They are very edible and medicinal

[@lisagarrett6966]

​@@diboakale3461hi, do you have recipes for fig leaves and what are they good for medicinally ? Do you have a link to a site that tells what each plant is good for? Thank you.

Does anyone know if all types of squash leaves are edible? I have butternut squash growing not sure if the leaves and flowers are edible.

[@thanhthaonguyen6971]

Yes, all pumpkin leaves and flowers are edible. The new shoot can be lightly boil, or stir fry with garlic or with meat. The not so old leaves and it stem need to peel the outside strings like bean, wash well, chop and stir fry. You can also eat the tiny pumpkin with the flowers still attach, cut in half lengh wise and steam or stir fry.

[@FianceUSAVisa]

Yes, edible good for stir fry or just blanche

Is that edible canna the same as arrowroot?

The edible canna is more bigger than arrowroot. The leaves have simmilar shape. You can also get the starch of edible canna roots to make noodle.

Do your research first before you put anything in your mouth ...Duh

[@lamia.thira.lowenstein]

Some leaves are edible only when cooked to cook off the toxins

[@brianthomason5022]

Over here eating straight up kratom leaves

[@Goodellsam]

But what does it taste like? There are many things you can eat, that doesn't mean it's pleasant.

[@SustainableHolly]

I’m not suggesting people eat bowls of straight pumpkin leaves but it can be useful to know what parts of the plants you grow are edible. That way when you are making a stirfry or a soup you have plenty of options available 🌱

I know that regular potato leaves are poisonous.☠️ Tomato leaves are poisonous. 💀☠️💀☠️💀☠️💀☠️💀💀 Eggplant leaves are poisonous.☠️💀☠️💀 Is all pepper leaves edible. Is grape leaves edible. Is broccoli leaves edible. I know that turnip leaves and beet leaves are edible. I know that broccoli leaves are edible as well as all cabbage leaves are edible. All kale leaves are edible. In a world disaster situation this would be a great time to know all of this. That not only is the vegetable or the fruit edible but many of the leaves are edible as well and can be made into soups as well as stews and even eaten raw. 😍😍😍😍😍 I also was told that you can dry many edible leaves and use it as a tea or store it for hard times to add into soups . 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂 In this day and time when so many people around the world are starving and the economy is crashing and the food suppliers are at their breaking point and we cannot afford to waste anything it is good to know there is many different types of vegetables and fruit leaves that we can actually consumed in a daily basis for survival . 🤔🤔🤔 So stalk yourself in survival vegetable and fruit seeds. Stock up your pantries and your water supplies as well as your health need medicine and materials. 🤔🤔🤔🤔 God bless America and the entire world hopefully everyone will see the truth and hear the truth and prepare themselves. And thank you for this knowledge.
