Very fresh, the leaves are large and very clean.

It looks pretty good. I couldn't find lotus leaves, so I'm using these instead to make guinea fowl.
I just bought some bamboo leaves for making zongzi, I don't know how they are yet.
The bamboo leaves are especially fragrant and large, making them easy to wrap.
The bamboo leaves were packaged very well, and the leaves themselves were in decent condition, just a little narrow. They're perfect for wrapping small rice dumplings.
The leaves I bought this time weren't very satisfactory; there were many broken pieces, and many of them were quite small. I'd like to buy a different brand next time.
Very good It smells great and has no other strange smells.
I've bought these zongzi before. It seems like this is the only brand that's pretty good here. Overall, none of them were broken. Of course, if there are different sizes in the packages, two are enough.
Such big, long palm leaves. Ready to wrap red bean paste.
I was surprised to find that Wee sells bamboo leaves for making zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), and they're quite large, which is nice
