How to Make Carrot Juice

To make carrot juice, you need a heavy-duty juicer powerful enough to separate the carrot pulp from the carrot juice. One pound of carrots makes an 8-oz. glass of juice.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

Step1
Wash fresh, whole carrots. Trim off the ends.
Step2
Following instructions for your model, push carrots through juicer, catching juice in cup as directed.
Step3
Clean pulp from strainer as you go along, if necessary.
Step4
Drink juice immediately or within a few days. Carrot juice does not keep for long and tastes best when fresh.

Tips & Warnings

  • It is not necessary to peel the carrots, but if they are not organic, you may wish to.
  • Try running an inch or so of ginger root through the juicer with the carrots for a zesty variation.

on 1/6/2007 I don't know how it is generally, but for me it takes a lot of time. A good way to speed things up is to leave the carrots in water for 3-5 minutes before you make the juice. This will get them moist and much more eager to turn into your juice :)
