They're common in a lot of greek recipes also, but I think they didn't count in this article because they're used as wrappings rather than a pile of leaves like lettuce. I could be completely wrong, but I've never seen them just eaten, always as a functional part of a recipe.

They've got a tannic bite that contrasts well with mild flavors like rice and soft cheeses. Even so, you usually don't base a whole dish around them the way you can with other leafy greens. The tannic bite easily becomes too much.
