Poor carrot tops, getting such a bad rep, just for having those bitter alkaloids! It is important to remember that while its not so serious that people are keeling over around the salad bar, but each green leafy has its own alkaloid and serious overeating of any one can turn into a problem. A part of me says, no problem, I have grown to love all greens...but I think I'm probably 15% spinach at any one time. A good reminder to pull out those seaweed snacks for tomorrow!
I like to add carrot tops when I throw carrots in a soup as well. I use it similarly to parsley. I will have to try a smoothie soon!
Has to be serious overeating to create issues. To get any effect you have to eat bunches of kale, spinach or other leafy greens. No need to fear the greens hehe. Never added them to soups. Great idea. Thanks for sharing!
