A little experiment: steaming green leaf

[websu]

So I thought I'd try something I haven't seen or heard of anyone doing, I got some dark green leaf and put it on my oven steamer at 75 degrees for 4 hours just to see what would happen and these are the results, obviously this is purely experimental and I won't know how they taste for some good time gonna let it age, one photo is a leaf that I let air dry and the other is one that I've been keeping in-between a towel.

My question is have any of you ever tried anything like this, if so what were your results or do you think this is just a plain dumb idea

If the 75° is °C, then you have cooked the leaf into Cavendish.

In my few years of trying to grow tobacco before finding FTT, I got green leaves, and I tried everything and none of it helped.

I wouldn't say it's a dumb idea but I don't think there's any substitute for letting the leaves colour cure nicely before any attempt at processing. I may be wrong, I often am.
