Grape Leaves

154

Grape leaves are medium to large in size and are cordate, or heart-shaped, with multiple lobes. The smooth, vibrant green leaves grow in an alternate pattern and have serrated, also known as toothed edges and pointed tips on each lobe. Grape leaves grow on climbing vines that can reach over seventeen meters in height. The vines use forking tendrils, which are tiny branches that twist around other plants and objects to climb. Grape leaves are tender and have a light citrusy, green, and tangy taste.
