I am from Nepal, but now I live in the USA. Back home we always make curry out of pumpkin leaves. This is the one of my favorite food. Now, I start doing vegetable garden in a community garden, I plant a lot of pumpkin and leaves taste delicious.
How do you do the leaves do you smash them to make the curr.
Yes I found out about pumpkin leaves, I wander around the garden and harvest edible greens and flowers I roll them all tightly in a pumpkin leaf and slice and chop finely with a meat cleaver and mix with fruit and shredded coconut for lunch most every day. It's a good way to get in lots of greens.
I’ve certainly learned something new today! Who would have thought? Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the info! I'm growing several pumpkin plants and the leaves are just beautiful! I can't wait to try them!!
Have fun!
Hi from Zambia (Africa) pumpkin leaves are one of the most common vegetables around since its adapted to the hot climatic conditions..... and we also eat bean leaves 😊
Thanks for sharing - that's great. There can be so much more food in our gardens than we often see at first glance.
Thanks so much…all of this food has been under my nose the whole time.
Oh great - yes. There’s so much food everywhere 🌿
As a newbie on vegetable gardening, and looking to grow a food forest, I appreciate the tips! I didn't think about growing pumpkins but will now reconsider! Thanks for the tip on pollination!
great video about not wasting greens and also the difference between female and male flowers and how to hand pollinate
Thanks for commenting Jon!
Great video! I love to make the leaves just like spinache. I cut the leaves in small stripes and then saute them with garlic. It's really good!
amazing :) love your energy :)
Hello Morag! I'm a new subscriber from California and loving your channel. I've never heard of eating pumpkin leaves but am going to give it a try next time I grow them.
Also immature pumpkins are Lovely summer squash
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!!!
Thanks so much! Perfect information.
I remember another time I think you said you make wraps from the leaves , do you blanch them first then fill with whatever? Also the skin as chips? Cut off and bake or fry? I love this information. ❤️❤️
Hi there. Yes, blanching or steaming first i all you need to do. It only takes a few minutes. I use the hotplate, drizzle some olive oil and just close the lid for a few minute - super quick and delicious. If you want them crispier, the oven would be better.

Pumpkin flowers are edible to from Philippines now in Florida US
I suppose I could also eat summer squash leaves like zucchini and yellow crookneck. I never thought about eating the leaves. Thanks, I'll give this a try! :-)
The young ones would be good, although take care not to remove too many leaves from the non-running types. Pumpkin has so much leaf and shoot abundance.
Oh wow! Thanks! I subscribed
You do know that the flowers are also edible and delightful and also the stem . Don't throw away any of it.
Awesome, thank you:}
Yes you do eat them you peal them and try cook them with. Fresh cream or milk not with water
good idea I usually have lots of pumpkin and squash leaves. How do you use the leaves? just as a salad green or can you make chips or do you steam and use them as a wrap for something? Thanks for sharing!
How about other squash leaves, like butternut?
Hello Morag: Does the same apply to zucchini leaves and flowers? I enjoy all your videos. Thanks!
Yes, but take care not to remove too many leaves from Zucchini - being a non-runner there is less to harvest, and to get the young ones you'd be removing the central leaves which give protection to the young zucchini...
How do you know which one is male and which one is female
