They're referring to the stalks of the greens as well as the curly heads. This recipe only utilizes the tops, not the orange part of the carrot.

Carrot tops were very coarse, and I had a hard time pureeing them. To me, the recipe tasted like eating an old tree. I added some garlic, more sesame oil and tamari, rice vinegar, and a little chili oil. In very small quantities, it was decent mixed in with cold noodles. Wouldn't make it again. Texture and taste were not very appealing.

Made an "Italian" version of this with olive oil and balsamic. Added some vegetable broth in order to purée it a bit more easily... planning on spreading on bread, eating with veggie burgers, and zucchini noodles. A fun experiment, but probably just best to sauté the carrot tops with some garlic and EVOO and be done with it.

Sometimes I can use my Vitamix where a food processor is called for. This is not one of those recipes, in wet or dry container. May work in Vitamix if stems were not used.

I love storing this in a small container in my fridge using it to wake up my packaged tuna before topping my salad.

Great use for carrot tops. I threw a handful of cilantro leaves and stems into the mix to be pureed. Also a dash of chili oil
