Saturday 11:00 in the morning: Meeting in my neighborhood square an organic vegetable .
Saturday 11:05: dismissal to the doctor already coquito with the phrase: "I go in a while, I want to see what they have." Translated means: "I'm going to spend 45 minutes looking vegetables and you won't bear it." Doctor Menea Head and leaves. I think what mature couple we are.
Saturday 11:07: I get matte and talk: organic cultivation, exchange of recipes, consumer communities, how rich is Borsch.
Saturday 12:00: Santiago , faithful representative of the Nouvelle Vergulerie, sells me some carrots with good pint. Leave.
SUNDAY 10:00: I look at the decks of the carrots : so abundant, so fresh, so greenish.
Sunday 10:05 : Surf on the web: Why don't we eat them? Are they toxic? Can they be eaten? Will they be rich? Will they be bitter? How do I prepare them? I can't find too much, but enough to tell you the following:
Info drops
About carrot leaves
- Carrot leaves are eaten , they are not toxic and are delicious.
- Formerly the carrot was grown by its leaves and aromatic seeds and not for its root .
- There are a few reports on allergies woke up by these leaves: as with peanuts or red fruits: this does not make them toxic.
- Carrot leaves are nutritious , rich in proteins, minerals and vitamins. They contain 6 times more vitamin C than the root and vitamin K, from which the root lacks. They are also a source of potassium and calcium.
- It is very important to buy them of organic . This is because, being a part of the plant that is not usually consumed, they could be used in its pesticide cultivation that are not going to get to us, because they are not used on the root.
- As in many other vegetables, use the leaves and remove the green stems, it will take away the bitter. I tried them like this and the truth that they were not bitter , at all.
How to use carrot sheets
1. as if it were Perejil
Picada with raw garlic to add to other vegetables or meat.
2. As part of broths, stews or soups
In the tied of herbs that are put.
3. How vinaigrette or salad pest
Raw crushed, with, for example, mustard beans, oil, honey and nuts.
4. In salad

Thanks Paulina. I have a little organic garden. And carrot leaves are beautiful. So I asked myself the same questions as you. I went to Google and found you. Thank you, thanks, thanks
Thanks for your proposals !!!!! I had no idea how to prepare them.
Hello Paulina, thanks for the information !! I tell you, every time I cook carrot the upper part and plant in my garden, does not produce the root but grows fed up leaves and you have to wait for them to be long and leafy to use them, and they look very green and beautiful, if they do not have garden they can also be buried in a large pot or bucket. A affectionate greeting!
Thanks for the information, I really didn't know how to use them.
I have prepared them as is, in salad and as an annex with potatoes and salmon. I also prepared an infusion. Thanks for the information. Then I will read that after eating them. Because he knows well 🙂 cioo.
Thanks a lot. A lot of variety to use a vegetable that almost did not know and normally pulls.
All the best.

What a genius, Paulina !! I am waiting for the carrots of my garden and, looking at the leaves, I wondered if they would be edible.
Thanks for the information!!!!
Hello Paulina !! Thanks for this help, I just reap carrots, there are a lot of carrot leaves and I feel sorry for the rabbit, hug!
My first carrots came out of mandragoras ... so that I stay with the leaves, and I started investigating the uses ... I made pesto and torrejitas ... a delight the subtlety of carrot flavor on a green leaf ... the jipies if we do not know ... we intuit it ...
Thank you very much for making known so much information.
Hi Paulina, you are a genius, I have a mini orchard at home and I didn't know what to do with the leaves of the carrots, thank you !! I tell you in case you are interested that the first thing I sow were ranitos and their leaves and stems we eat in salad, it is similar to the water in flavor, although it has a harder taxure, try them !!
Hello Paulina, I use it in salads, and as a parsley at meals, it gives it a sweet flavor. A question, do you know how many carbohydrates does the leaf have? I am to start the Keto Plan and I would like to consume them but in the groups as they open us whether they are consumed or not?
Thanks Paulina! I have a little garden and some giant carrots, which I did not reap, because I was sorry to throw the leaves, hahaha
For me in the Top 3 go the croquettes of carrot leaves….
Hello! Thank you for these ideas, in my composting club they have given me a tied of organic carrots with outbreak and apart from soups, I did not know what to do with it ... I think I will do something to the peg and replace it with the parsley.
Greetings!

Green beaten: a few carrot leaves with 2 or 3 acids or sweets, water, sweeten with stevia or datiles and beat in the blender.
