You need to pick the grape leaves in late Spring ( May or June) and they need to be whole, without holes and from vines that have not been sprayed with pesticides. They need to be light green and tender. The best are the new growth at the top of the plant and close to the grapes. Rule of thumb: count down 3 leaves from the new growth at the end of the vine and pick the next 2-3 leaves, then move to the next stem. Leaves should be medium to large with no damage and at least the size of the palm of your hand and large enough to wrap around a filling. The leaves from the Thompson seedless are hardier and more flexible than other types. For 2 to 2 1/2 pounds you need 200-220 leaves. After picking the leaves use a sharp knife to cut off the stems. Do not cut the leaf. Rinse well under cold water and remove stems. Fresh leaves need to be blanched before using. To blanch: Place leaves in a pan and cover with boiling water. Let sit for 3-5 minutes. Another method is to bring a large pot of water to a boil. Turn off the heat and add the leaves and let sit for 3-5 minutes. Your leaves are now ready to use when you dry them off. Suggestion: If you are not sure about the leaves and the pesticides I would buy prepared leaves in a deli to use.

You can identify a vine by its leaf by looking at the shape, size, and arrangement of the leaves. Vines often have long, slender leaves that are attached to the stem in a specific pattern, such as opposite or alternate. Additionally, the edges of the leaves and any unique markings or textures can also help in identifying the vine species.

You can identify a climbing vine by looking for leaves that are typically heart-shaped, lobed, or compound with tendrils or small structures that help the vine climb. The leaves may also be arranged in an alternating pattern along the stem.

Vine leaves are commonly used in Mediterranean cuisine to make dolmas, a dish where the leaves are stuffed with a mixture of rice, herbs, and sometimes meat. They can also be used to wrap around other ingredients like fish or vegetables before cooking. Additionally, vine leaves are sometimes used to impart flavor to dishes like stews or soups.
