Description

"Carrot tops are delicious, nutritious, beautiful, and deserve a lot better than getting plunked into your garbage can. Did you know that they have six times more vitamin C than the orange root? Perhaps Bugs Bunny should turn his around while he munches! Here, I use them to make a brightly colored green pesto. Double down with avocado, which is an excellent source of healthy fat. The whole thing gets drizzled over carrots roasted in a rich and spicy rose harissa. The result is as satisfying to the eye as the belly."From The Power Five: Essential Foods for Optimum Health © 2023 by Michael Crupain, MD, MPH.
