GROW SOME SALAD FROM YOUR CARROT SCRAPS

We have blogged about this before but we thought we would remind all you wonderful readers out there to save your carrot scraps.

We always throw away the carrot tops. But do you know that if you partially submerge the carrot tops in water and leave it in a sunny place, it will start to grow carrot leaves. You can use this carrot leaves just like parsley. Or add them to your bowl of salad. How is that for maximizing your carrots? It not only gives you vitamin A, but also another boost of vitamin C a few days later.

The above is about 4 days old. It is growing a bit slowly, but it is growing nonetheless. It is pretty fun for us to watch it sprout more greens every morning when we have our tea or coffee. Our folks got back from their holiday and the mom was delighted to see the cute colors sprouting on the kitchen top.
