You can buy dried fig leaves as used for fig leaf tea from : Lkreitzer@juno.com I grow hundreds of fig trees for my fig nursery every year and I save the leaves and sell them for their medicinal value and good chamomile like taste. Fig leaves which are NOT poisonous are good for balancing blood sugar( Type 1 and 2 Diabetes), reducing cholesterol and stimulating blood circulation. An x con named Martha Stewart uses them to wrap 4 ounces of wild Alaskan salmon after drizzling them with olive oil; coarse salt and fresh ground black pepper. I believe she bakes them for 8 minutes at 300 degrees. Fresh fig leaves imbue what you wrap inside it with a toasted coconut flavor and wonderful moisture. Fig wood can be soaked for an hour and used to smoke all foods with its coconut like flavor with a hint of burnt marshmallow.
