How to Use Baby Carrots for Juicing

Baby carrots can be substituted for full-size carrots in juicing recipes.

Baby carrots are carrots that have not been allowed to fully mature. Like full-grown carrots, baby carrots can be baked, steamed, and juiced. They offer the same nutritional value as full-grown carrots. When selecting carrots for juicing, look for firm carrots. Additionally, the carrots should not contain any cracks. If storing carrots before using them, remove the tops. The tops of the carrots draw out all of their moisture, which can contribute to cracks and over drying.

Things You'll Need

• Baby carrots
• Cutting board
• Knife
• Paper towels
• Vegetable peeler
• Juicer
• Airtight container (optional)

Instructions

1. Place the baby carrots on the cutting board. Cut off the tops of the baby carrots. Peel.

2. Wash and dry the baby carrots. Only prepare the amount of baby carrots you need for the recipe. The other baby carrots should be placed in an airtight container and refrigerated.

3. Place the baby carrots into the juicer along with the other ingredients for the recipe.
