The roots of this wild carrot species, which is also known as Queen Anne’s lace, are very thin and soon become woody, yet when young they are tender and heavy with aroma, which makes a good basis for a bouillon. Wild carrot seeds or the oil extracted from them also be used cosmetically and medically. The carrot seeds are edible and are used for the most diverse purposes. They are said to be contraceptives and are used as a spice for bread analogous to caraway. The wild carrot is enormously robust and grows on a variety of soils, even on overfertilized and oversalted ones. The blossom that appears in the second year is very popular with insects and bees. The root of a biennial plant shouldn't be harvested anymore as it tastes very hot and is lignified. With its sweeping, white umbels, it is also a beautiful wildflower for the wildlife garden.
