PSA Carrot Tops are edible

I just thought I would mention that Carrot tops are 100% edible. For years I thought they where toxic but I was wrong.

The texture is that of course parsley the flavor is mild. Last year I made Carrot top Tabbouleh. Texture was perfect just no parsley flavor. So my suggestion is to mix it with another strongly flavored herb to compensate.

If you have carrot tops dont waste them.

I ate lots of carrot tops when I was young. Combined with flour and steamed, they tasted pretty good.

I read a similar thing last summer. Given that I love cooked greens, I added some fresh carrot tops to my next dish. And then I chewed and chewed and chewed on those carrot tops until my jaws hurt. Tough! Probably good source of fiber though…
