carrot leaf furikake

You Need to Use Carrot Leaf!!!

Compare to the root part you usually eat, the leaf part has more than twice of vitamin A, third times of protein, five times of calcium, and etc.*

Don't throw it away...

I usually make furikake(sprinkle on rice) out of the leaves.

This is how:

1. cut the leaf part and wash well,and pick the leaves from the stem.

2. put the leaves on a parchment sheet and microwave it (about 3 min? It depends how much leaves you put on. Put the sheet 1 min and see how the leaves look like, put 1 min again, continue till the wetness of leaves is gone.)

Not yet. . .

This is it!

3. grind the dried leaves with your hand.

4. put it in a jar or plastic container or bag with a bit of salt.

If it get enough dry, you can store a while. I keep the carrot leaf furikake a month or so.
