Grape leaves, a staple in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Balkan cuisines, bring unique texture and flavor to dishes like dolmas—stuffed grape leaves often filled with rice, vegetables, or meat. Packed with essential nutrients, these leaves are a good source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as calcium, iron, and antioxidants that help combat inflammation and support overall health. Low in calories and fat, grape leaves offer heart-healthy benefits and fit well into balanced diets. Traditional recipes may include olive oil and nuts, which contribute healthy fats, though variations with meat or added salt can increase calorie and sodium content. Their fibrous nature aids digestion, while their natural compounds may have antimicrobial and anti-cancer properties. Whether fresh or preserved, grape leaves are a versatile and nutritious ingredient that connects to centuries-old culinary traditions.
