Huge Pumpkin Leaf with Quarter on Leaf for Scale - Cucurbitaceae

Pumpkin leaves are large, lobed leaves that grow on hollow stems. They are roundish in shape, and often have serrated edges. They feature three or more veins. They are typically dark green in color, but may be light or grey-green, depending on the variety. They are often fuzzy in texture, and the small hairs may feel prickly in texture. Their flavor is a mix of green beans, asparagus, broccoli and spinach. When cooked, they are soft and taste like boiled spinach and turnip greens. Pumpkins belong to the Cucurbitaceae family. They grow on trailing vines that may be trellised. Pumpkin leaves are not often thought of as edible, largely because of their fuzzy texture, but can be eaten raw or cooked. Pumpkin leaves are a source of calcium, iron, folate, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and maganese. They are rich in vitamin A, vitamin B and vitamin C.
