Caraway reveals its close family ties to carrot through its carrot-like, feathery foliage, and the long taproot it develops in the first year. Like the carrot (also a biennial), the plant stores energy in this root to send up a tall flower stalk in year two, which is followed by seeds for the next generation. Use the sweet foliage to flavour soups and salads, use the seeds to flavour bread and baked goods, and even use the carrot-like taproot as a regular root vegetable.
