| A neighbor just answered my question. You boil the leaves and they taste something like spinach, only better. |

| Hey, guys, I wouldn't eat pepper leaves. Peppers are from the nightshade family. Their leaves are poisonous. |

| If anyone has a good link to some info on the culinary uses of pepper leaves I would love to see it. I've done some searching but the most I could find is single recipes and no treatment of the subject as a whole. |

| my mom used to make soup with the leaves. it was yummy. i'm still alive and its been over 10 years since i've eaten it. Maybe it depends what kind of pepper?! she used jalapeno leaves. |

| One time I was out in the garden eating some basil, when I accidently ate a pepper leaf. It was kind of spicy and I knew that it wasn't a basil leaf, but it had been so small that I had eaten it all by the time I realized it. I looked to see what plant it came off of, and it was the Jalapeno plant Well, I went inside and I started to feel strange. I got dizzy, and my face felt hot and prickly. I called the doctor and they told me to wait and see if it got worse. Luckily it didn't, and within a few hours I went back to normal. I'm sure it was because of that pepper leaf. |

hey canuckistani
no, it did not say ANY annum. did you read the list or read the article? it made it very clear that some leaves on the list needed special preparations in order to being safe to eat by humans.
some need boiling, some drying, some fried, and other preparations not mentioned....so be careful what you eat is all i can say |

i've eaten pepper leaves before, i doubt they are poisonous, maybe depends on what kind of pepper/chile you are talking about? they taste really yum, my mum just make a soup with pork, and add some salt for flavour. pepper leaves ARE better than spinach, its got the texture of spinach but not the special taste of the spinach.good for people who dont like spinach.
pepper leaves are popular in China, i dont think you can eat raw pepper leaves, Chinese people cook them, so is that the pepperation you are talkin about?
here is a link in Chinese, see if you can translate it with translator on the toolbar, there are recipes, Chinese recipes. |

| My cats make a regular feast of my potted house peppers. No signs of ill affects... little monsters also pull off the habeneras to bat around as toys. Peppers seem to have an amazing ability to spring back from being pruned down to almost nothing. Plants I thought the cats had killed I'm munching peppers from today. The cats do prefer jalapeno!... they will nibble habenera... must have been stung by the red savina as they walk a wide path around that one. My pets smell and hear better then I do so I take note when their senses detect something. |
