Pumpkin leaves have a deep green flavor. Pumpkin leaves should be harvested and eaten early in the season so that they are tender and not fibrous and tough. Pumpkin leaves have a fibrous film on the outside of the stem that needs to be peeled off before eating to improve the texture.
Pumpkin leaves are often blanched or steamed before eaten and used to make rice wraps, used as a wrap for Korean BBQ, made into pancakes, or used in soups like soybean paste soup.
