Strawberry and cucumber leaves and flowers?

[Lou]

Hey

Sorry this has already been asked, I was having trouble searching for the info.

I was wondering if the leaves and flowers of strawberries and cucumber are safe for them to eat?

Thanks

Yes, they are safe to eat, but you shouldn't feed them very often. Cucumber doesn't contain much in the way of nutrients and has virtually no caloric value. They're essentially crunchy hunks of water. Strawberries are high and sugar and should only be fed 'sparingly'. Many suggest that 'sparingly' is anything from once a week to once a year, depending on who you ask.

The leaves from both are edible as are the blossoms...
