Cherry Leaves
Cherry Leaves are the edible leaves of cherry trees, often used in Japanese confectionery (sakura-mochi), pickling, or as aromatic wraps and garnishes in East Asian cuisines. They are valued for their floral aroma and slightly astringent, green flavor that pairs well with sweet rice and preserved foods. Nutritionally, Cherry Leaves are a leafy plant food notable for their very high vitamin K content (390µg per 100g); they also contribute dietary fiber and a small amount of plant protein and omega-3s, making them a nutrient-dense garnish or wrap rather than a bulk food. From a health perspective, these leaves offer bone- and blood-health-supporting vitamin K and useful fiber, along with minerals like manganese and some beneficial omega-3 fats, so they can be a nutritious addition to dishes where a fragrant, edible leaf is appropriate.
