Thinning of carrot beds in the Garden of Skills, Malanti, Eswatini

In the vegetable garden of the Garden of Skills, nothing is lost! 

When the women thin the carrots to encourage their growth, the young shoots are collected and cooked for the daily meal offered to the women in training. 

The young carrot tops are very rich in nutrients: finely chopped and pan-fried with onions, they provide vitamins and flavour to the dish.
