Freyja asked:

I would think that if you can eat a fruit or vegie than you can eat its leaves, too. I don't know if that's a trustworthy rule or not. Anyone know of a plant that has edible fruit and poisonous leaves?

Tomatoes and potatoes are both nightshades. The leaves are very poisonous. Cashews are perfectly edible but almost every part of a cashew tree has blistering agents. Apples are great but their seeds contain high concentrations of of Potassium cyanide, cupcakes are delicious but Bill will shoot you if you try to eat his cupcake tree. There is no reason to assume a leaf is edible if the fruit is.
