Tomatoes, Zero Waste

Not only can you clone your (best) tomatoes from branches, you can also add the leaves to your dishes.

Give it a try in a salad, in tomato sauce or in pesto.

The leaves taste quite similar to the fruit. Like the herb version, less watery and succulent, but with the familiar, and enhanced, aroma of tomatoes. A little goes a long way.

It is a shame that dishes with tomato leaves are so obscure.. when there are so many growers and appreciators of tomatoes, and the plant grows in such a generous fashion and offers a lot of leaves as well.
