Fermented Tea Leaves
Fermented Tea Leaves is a vegetable. It is plant-derived, so it rules out no diet on its own.
Also known asLahpet · Myanmar
Fermented, jarred · per 100 g
Cited against canned grape leaves because no fermented-tea-leaf record exists in USDA. This does not capture tea's own chemistry (its catechins and caffeine), and the sodium figure in particular reflects a canning brine rather than lahpet's own fermentation liquor, so treat the sodium and micronutrient figures as approximate.

USDA FDC SR Legacy record 169393. USDA publishes no record for fermented tea leaves (lahpet). This is its record for canned grape leaves, the closest available match for a green leaf preserved whole in a salty liquid, rather than eaten fresh. Density estimated from the leafy-fresh-herb class.
