About Korean aster leaves

Korean aster leaves are leafy greens used in Korean cooking, often cooked or seasoned as a vegetable side. They may be blanched and dressed, or incorporated into other cooked foods. Fresh leaves and dried greens are distinct forms; dried leaves are typically rehydrated and cooked before use.

The leaves are green and may have a soft, slightly fibrous texture depending on maturity and preparation. Their flavour is leafy and savoury, with a characteristic aromatic quality. The common name can cover more than one aster-like edible green, and product identity and fresh or dried form can vary.
