Carrot tops

Does anyone know if it’s a good idea to eat them? I picked a bunch from a friend’s garden and they were so delicious. It is strange as I have trouble enjoying greens, but they are very good. I can’t find any info about them at all, I looked all over. Any thoughts?

    Last summer I had a wonderful crop of carrots, and we loved to go out and eat the tops. Nobody ever got sick, so I would think they were o.k.

  • Yeah, they’re ok to eat! Victoria Boutenko mentions them in her Green For Life book. I’ve also had carrot tops and they’re REALLY good! Fibrous, tangy, slightly carroty… very good with a lemon dressing.. YUM!

    According to Boutenko—More nutritious than the carrot!

    Some of the sites I found said they’re mildly toxic so I was worried. But they taste so good to me, they’re like parsley. I’m glad you all agree :c)

  • Carrot greens are edible. They have nutritional value however I do not have nutritional information. If I find information I will post it here.
