Interesting. I've always considered carrot tops to be trash because my mother would tear them off and throw them out. :innocent:

My mom said many people think they are poisonous.

"The leaves of carrot ARE considered edible and are highly nutritive, rich in protein, minerals and vitamins. They contain 6 times the vitamin C of the root and are a great source of potassium and calcium. The tops of the carrots are loaded with potassium which can make them bitter, so the use of them in food is limited, but there some ideas and recipes below.

The leaves do have antiseptic qualities and can be juiced and used as a mouthwash.These greens are packed with chlorophyll, a phytochemical that gives plants their green colour and pigmentation. Chlorophyll is an excellent source of magnesium, which promotes healthy blood pressure as well as strong bones and muscles, and haas been noted to purify the blood, lymph nodes and adrenal glands

They are high in potassium, which can lower blood pressure, support your metabolism, and help prevent osteoporosis, according to Caspero. People most at risk for heart disease are the ones who get too little potassium.What's more, carrot greens are rich in vitamin K, which is lacking in the carrot itself and is vital to bone health. They have also been noted to deter tumor growth.This applies to both Wild Carrot leaves as well as domestic."

I use carrot tops in soups. I use up every part of my vegetables. So many things can be used in soups, stews, or for broth or veggie stock.

Last thing I bought was a bottle of lavender oil to use as a linen spray. I always spray my pillows and blankets with some type of essential oil before I go to bed. Helps me fall asleep better.

I like to eat the carrot tops, just because it something to chew on and eat after the rest of the carrot is gone. Also, their flavor oddly reminds of mint, and they have a neat aftertaste.

I just ordered €70 worth of book vouchers for a total of €1.40.
I'll most probably use them for gifts or give them away.

We are given the amount by the firm once a year as a perk.
