Young Vine Leaves

Young vine leaves growing in dappled summer light

Harvested from Plants for a Future Forest Garden.

Young vine leaves can be used as a salad leaf, with a pleasant sharp flavour. They have a sweet grape like smell and are very tender.

Suggested use

Eat raw as a salad leaf, nibble as a snack or boil/steam lightly for a few minutes to use as a vegetable as you would spinach leaves.
