Zero waste

So many people just throw their carrot tops out, as in those green leafy part at the top of fresh carrots. I actually found a recipe to utilise them yesterday. Carrot tops are surprisingly healthy and contain good amounts of vitamin A, dietary fiber, vitamin C, calcium, and iron. These greens also contain vitamin K and various phenolic compounds and carotenoids, along with trace amounts of other antioxidants.

I made this recipe with the recipe card that came with the food order, and it included putting a clove of garlic, the tops of one bunch of carrots, some mixed nuts, a couple of tablespoons of olive oil, seasoning and blending it into a pesto, and then put it on some of my home-made Flaxseed and sunflower seed bread.
