Description
Carrots can be eaten both raw and cooked and have a nice sweet flavor that is reminiscent of walnuts. They taste best when combined with other root vegetables and can be used in salads during the winter. The leaves can be eaten raw or cooked as leafy greens and have a fairly neutral taste with a hint of sweetness, making them suitable for raw salads. The leaves are rich in vitamin C and can be a good addition to winter salads. In spring, the young shoots can be blanched and cooked like asparagus.
