Tomorrow at the Greenwood Indiana Farmers Market Rustic Hill Farm will have some culinary treats for you. Have you ever had pumpkin leaves? Many years ago I traveled to Africa and ate pumpkin leaves for the first time. It tastes like spinach, broccoli, and green beans had a baby. Bonus- they lack the sharp bitterness found in many other dark leafy greens.
It was one of those meals I hope I never forget. I'll have a limited supply tomorrow if anyone is feeling venturous.
Pumpkin leaves are low-calorie and packed with nutrients. One cup of cooked, boiled pumpkin leaves has only about 15 calories. They provide high amounts of Vitamin K (64% of daily value), Vitamin A, iron, calcium, potassium, and dietary fiber. Below is a classic recipe.
I have lots of tomatoes (yes green ones) and herbs, teas & spices grown, all naturally, by yours truly 🥰
