Uses for Carrot Greens | Carrot-top recipes

Carrot greens have a distinct earthy, sharp, and bitter taste which is why they are not as versatile as other leafy greens. The thicker part of the stem is also a bit tough and fibrous so I use only the feathery carrot greens and keep the stem for cookingvegetable stock.

Health benefits of Carrot Leaves

• Carrot leaves have 6 times more Vitamin C than the carrot root! They are also a good source of Vitamin K, which is actually not there in the root per se.
• They are rich in Potassium and Calcium. It is the high amounts of Potassium in the carrot leaves that gives them a slightly bitter taste. Potassium helps control osteoporosis, lower blood pressure, and promote healthy metabolism.
• The greens are rich in chlorophyll, which is an excellent source of magnesium. Magnesium promotes healthy blood pressure, strong bones, and muscles.
