I've seen some YouTube stuff where they seem to scorch the leaves. One soaks them. I want to pick a few and travel with them for a chef to use. Can I just harvest. Stack em and voila?

Yes... you have to soften the leaves by passing them through fire (at least that's the method we use in our cooking)... whether or not it's necessary, I don't know. We've just always done this to the leaves.
