edible grape leaves
 

hey all -

my girlfriend makes a Greek dish with grape leaves - it's absolutely
incredible. She and I would like to know what type of grape leaves are
used to produce the pickled grape leaves we buy at the grocery and
whether the grapes growing native in our area (northeastern Georgia) are
suitable for consumption. Also, if I find or grow edible grape leaves,
how do I prepare them?

thanks!

Not sure about Muscadine grape leaves...
Are they edible? They are awfully fuzzy!
I have some concord grapes and green grape leaves that will work if I
can ever get them going, but have _tons_ of the wild grapes.

I just take them off of the vine. If they have a thick stem toward the
base I cut that out. Blanch them in salted water and immediately shock
them in ice water and you're good to go.

Never read the fine print. There ain't no way you're going to like it.

Other than being small, they should work.

Hi All,
You can all so make wine out of grape leaves, called folly.

Use only sortiment which wasn't treated with chemicals (pesticides), if it
is treated it is full of poison.
