Don't toss/compost your homegrown #PepperLeaves. #Harvest them because they're food. They can be used as herbs substitute if you don't have basil or mints. They can be cooked & eaten. They're nutritious, so start eating your pepper leaves!

Mom had told me that in her matriarch village, our relations grew & harvested #peppers & #leaves for many generations. It's used in many different Asian cultures as both food & medicine.

@PhoenixSerenity Which kinds of pepper? A large number of plants make things called a "pepper".

@lyda All edible peppers & no ornamental ones!

@lyda I harvested from ones I have growing - Thai chilis, jalapeño, bell peppers & Carolina reaper. Every edible pepper plant is ok.
