Any use for horseradish leaves?

I noticed big packs of horseradish leaves in the frozen section of the Chinese supermarket today.

Obviously, you can eat the leaves from horseradish when theyr'e young, but these packs looked like compressed up, older leaves.

I forgot to ask the nice lady in the shop what to do with the leaves when I left, which is a shame because when it starts to grow I'm never short of them. Anyone got any interesting uses for the leaves?

Maybe they'd be a good substitute for banana leaves, to wrap food in whilst cooking.

Be interested in the correct answer, as it may help me to persuade Howard to bring some from the old allotment to plant at the new plot.

bingo

I tried it and it was horrible.

The leaves of the plant, which while edible aren't commonly eaten, are referred to as 'horseradish greens.' Although technically a vegetable, horseradish is generally treated as a condiment or ingredient.

I have used horse radish leaves for various other things. An alternative to vine leaves in making Dolmades. Blanched and used to wrap around certain oily fish. Great for wrapping and steaming also using chicken fillet, pork tenderloin and beef wellington style dishes.
Forgot to put it in foraging greens though.
Oh and another one i forgot this morning is Sea blite.
