[CH] Chile leaves

I picked a bag of Fresnos for the folks at work and, in the course of
distributing them, I got a whiff of an incredible aroma emanating from the
bag. I, of course, stuck my face in the bag and inhaled deeply. What a
great, smoky, earthy, green aroma! I took one of the chiles out and
sniffed it all over (it's o.k., the people I work with aren't surprised
easily) to determine the source of the smell. It seemed to be coming from
the blossom end of the chile. Has anyone tried to use "chile-greens" in
cooking? Is it just that Fresnos are very aromatic when they're freshly
picked?
Anxiously awaiting comment.
In Chiles,
Doug
