I never heard of eating pepper leaves, but the other day my mother-in-law tossed a big fistful of young pepper leaves in some soup. I was totally shocked, and when I asked her about it she gave me a look like I was some kind of idiot. "Sure! of course you can eat them, they are delicious!" I have to admit she was right. Just a subtle bit of flavor. Tender and a little sweet.
