Taste

Oyster Leaves have a slight salty taste that highly resembles oysters and are therefore often refered to as Vegetarian Oysters.

Taste Friends

Combined with fish dishes, they are an interesting addition to the ingredients already available. Oyster Leaves can be used to lend a salty taste. They are excellent in surf and turf dishes, for instance. But they also make a challenging addition to coffee or chocolate. 

Origin

Oyster Leaves originate from the beaches of North-West Europe and America. The leaves offered by Koppert Cress are of a specially selected variety with exceptional flavour and texture.
