Vine leaves are a culinary ingredient commonly used in Europe and Asia, especially in Greek, Turkish and Persian kitchens. They are obtained from the virgin vineyard (Vitis Vinifera), a climbing plant cultivated for its grapes, but also for its edible leaves. The vine leaves are mainly used to wrap pranks or preparations of meat and vegetables, such as dolmas (vine leaves stuffed with minced meat and vegetables) or sarma (rolls of stewed vines with meat and vegetables). They bring a crisp texture and a slightly tart flavor to these dishes.
