Carrot: Cooked carrots are soft in texture and have a mild flavor. Young leaves: These can be cooked and used as flavor enhancers in soups. The dried leaves serve as a seasoning, such as in herbal tea. Flowers: They can be used as flavorings in alcoholic beverages, stewed fruits, and to make a syrup for fruit salads. A tea can be made by combining the young leaves, flowers, and roots.
