I'd not heard of eating carrot greens until I read your post, so I went on
a web-hunt to find out more. They seem full of all kinds of good
nutritional things, but I found an unexpected medicinal side effect.
Apparently:

'Carrot leaves contain significant amounts of porphyrins, which stimulate
the pituitary gland and lead to the release of increased levels of sex
hormones.'

Just thought you ought to know ;-)

Can't say I can vouch for the scientific accuracy of that statement, but
it came from a wonderful website that I've just found and bookmarked; it's
called 'The World Carrot Museum' <g>

It's well worth a look if you feel in need of entertainment.
