As a kid, I was told tomato leaves are poisonous. Yet, are they?<\/p>\n
I’ve found three sources, this morning, that mention tomato leaves being consumed. One tells of using them in tomato sauce, while another considers them a garden green. Perhaps, in small-to-moderate doses, tomato leaves might be safe to eat, for most people.<\/p>\n
Apparently, tomato leaves do contain compounds that are toxic in large doses: eating a lot of them at once might lead to toxic overload.<\/p>\n
I plan to experiment by eating a few tomato leaves from the garden. I’ll let you know what happens, if I don’t die:)<\/p>\n
