Topic: Can I eat swede leaves/greens?

[Crystalmoon]

Sorry if this is a really silly question but I wondered if I can eat swede greens/leaves as all my swedes seem to be failing to produce round veg but I do have loads of leaves.
I know turnip greens are actually more nutritious than the turnips so wondered about swede leaves?
Thanks x jane

Not at all, Jane.  I am sure that the answer is of interest to many A4Aers.

Yes, they are edible and wholesome.

Thanks so much Galina ;D
I did try googling it but didnt come across the plants for the future site, thank you so much for the link.
Im so chuffed I wont have to waste a whole bed of swede that arent forming balls, Im looking forward to trying the greens as I loved the turnip greens. I also really like beetroot tops & have been trying my best to eat as much as possible of any veg I grow this year ;) x jane
