green vs. brown leaves

First Instar
can I feed dried green leafs to my roaches or do they need to leave them in the sun until they turn brown. I have read somewhere that it's not a good idea to feed green leafs to your roaches, just wondering what you all have to say on the topic.
 
Which roaches are the leaves for? I usually collect already fallen oak leaves but I've also used fresh mulberry leaves a few times.
 
no particular roach at this time, just want to get some collected as I will be adding to my collection this winter. I have quite a lot of oak and maple the browned on the tree. have heard/read the mulberry leaves had some type of insect repellent chemical in them but im guessing I may have got that wrong since you have used them.

I've only used the mulberry on one species and they are breeding. I just assumed that mulberry is fine. Might be an oopsie on my part
 
Just a quick search, not rock solid of course
