They will not kill you but they might make you sick. They may have poisonous alkaloids. The amount of poisonous alkaloids can vary widely depending on the specific variety.

On some websites you will find mention of bell pepper leaves being eaten in Southeast Asia. I do not know if this is true, but they may not be growing the same varieties of bell pepper plant as are grown in the U.S. If some kinds of bell pepper leaves are eaten, they must have been cooked.

Are bell pepper leaves edible?

Hello, Yes I believe they are. But be careful, some plants with edible fruits (like potatoes can have toxicity in their leaves. The best is to check with people from the Philippines. I believe they have recipes there that include the use of Bell Pepper leaves (something called "Tinola"). So maybe only certain species of pepper plants will do. Here is also a forum thread that discuses just that question with a few people mentioning that they have been eating bell pepper leaves: http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message564850/pg1 Hope this helps, Dan
