bamboo leaves

Stalks' green blades

Bamboo leaves are the foliage of bamboo plants, used in Asian cuisines to wrap foods for steaming or grilling—imparting subtle flavor and aroma to rice, dumplings, and tamale-like preparations.

In traditional medicine, bamboo leaf tea is brewed for its purported health benefits.

Pandas famously subsist almost entirely on bamboo, leaves and all.
