anyone know of any uses for carrot greens?

I just threw away almost as much greens as I have remaining carrots, and that seems like such a waste. Are carrot tops any good for cooking with? Or in salads?

Not sure but I imagine the would not be wasted in a vegtable broth....

I seem to remember they where a bit too astringent for salads.

I seem to recall from my childhood that if you fill a glass almost brimful with water, and stick three toothpicks into the carrot top evenly spaced and at upward angles so that you can rest the toothpicks on the edge of the glass and suspend the cut edge of the carrot top in the water (refilling it as it evaporates, of course), you can grow more carrots.

We used to feed them to the rabbit.

Heh. Maybe I need to find a rabbit then. Wonder what the cats would think of that.

One word.....

Dinner! :-D

As long as they don't go walk-a-bout I wouldn't try it. ;-)
