Product Description

Pumpkin leaf is the edible foliage and, where specified, the tender shoots and stems of pumpkin plants belonging to the genus Cucurbita. Grown in Thailand, pumpkin leaves are used in a variety of traditional dishes and are valued as a versatile leafy vegetable.

The leaves are generally broad and green, with prominent veins and a slightly rough surface. Tender shoots and stems may also be supplied, depending on the customer’s requirements. Pumpkin leaves are commonly prepared by cooking, including stir-frying and adding to soups or other vegetable dishes. Some varieties have coarse hairs or fibrous stems, so preparation requirements may vary.

Blue Jay Oriental Foods sources Thai fresh produce for wholesale buyers, Asian grocery distributors, restaurants, catering businesses, and international importers. The pumpkin species, edible plant parts, trimming method, and product presentation should be confirmed with the supplying farm before commercial labelling and export.
