Hey guys in this video we learn how to harvest Wild Carrot or Daucus carota,one of many wild edibles that is easily harvested with the use of a trowel or shovel. Wild carrot is one of the many wild edibles that can be harvested through out the fall and early spring and are the ancestor to the modern day carrot. Being a biennial like our modern day carrots, the wild carrot, is best harvested for its root the first year as they are the most tender. But keep an eye out for the woody core of the taproot, because while edible, it's very tough and wood like in texture! Daucus carota has a couple look a likes, being yarrow and poison hemlock, both of which lack the carrot like odor and aroma of the wild carrot. To remove the woody core of the inside of the root, just simply split the root in half lengthwise and then pull out the wood like center, it will pull out like a thread. You an use the wild carrot in any other dish you would a carrot, however it's best to cook them up for a few minutes before using as they can be somewhat tough and rubbery.
