I finally contacted my ex-student with the pomelo farming family. She told me she has never heard of the leaves being eaten or any other culinary usage, but repeated the Oxford Companion information re ceremonial baths in my opening post, adding that they are boiled in water which is also then used to bathe children with colds.

 

So why they were being sold as a vegetable or spice remains a mystery.

It could also be as simple as some enterprising entrepreneur drawing a connection to citrus leaves, then decided to put them up for sale.

 

Could be. Who knows?
