Date: December 26, 2006 04:17PM Carrots are in the parsley family, along with parsnip, celery, celeriac, cumin, cilantro, chervil, fennel, anise carraway and, coriander/cilantro.
I'd expect the nutrient profile to be similar to parsley, cilantro, and fennel leaves. You can toss a handful in your salads and smoothies. But don't eat much of them because they contain chemicals (psoralens) that cause photosensitivity. You might find them irritating if they brush against your skin. They might also have other interesting effects: [www.ibiblio.org] Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
