(ony carrot tops? and other tops, too!

[Guest guest]

The only green I haven't cared for are carrot tops. They have a strange bitter

taste and even though I cooked them with an apple I didn't enjoy the flavor.

How do you cook yours?

Re: Edible? radish tops? and other tops, too!

 

 

I always have radishes in the garden, and throw the greens in with any greens I

am braising.

In fact - I use the tops or greens from almost everything in the garden. The

beets, radish,

turnip greens I usually sautee with a little onion a splash of veggie broth and

a dash of

vinegar. Lately I've been adding the tender leaves from my snow peas into the

salad - they

have a wonderful flavor. I also chop the carrot tops into the salad - I

particularly like those. I

haven't yet tried the tomato leaves or the green bean leaves, but maybe in the

summer I will!

Nasturtium grows wild around my garden, so those leaves and flowers turn up in

the salad a

lot, too.
