Content
- If you are particularly concerned about pesticides on the tubers, peel the carrots. This step does not significantly reduce the nutritional value of the juice.
- You can buy carrots that are organically grown, though more expensive, without being sprayed with pesticides.
- Add a little more water if the carrots are not too moist and need more water to be ground.
- Note that the food blender does not grind the carrot puree with a high quality blender. While it doesn't matter, use a high quality blender if possible.
Mix with water. Dilute the flavor of the carrot mash mixture by mixing it with water. This will help the mixture taste better and create more juice.
- Boil 2 cups of water.
- Mix the carrot mashed with hot water into a large glass jar.
- Stir the carrots to blend with the water.
Strain out the pulp. Use a hand-held sieve to filter the juice into a 2-liter container.
- Use the bottom of a glass cup or other blunt object to press on the mixture to squeeze as much juice as possible from the sieve.
- If you want to further filter the pulp, you can pour the filtered juice onto the filter cloth.
Drink it now. The juice begins to oxidize and lose valuable nutrients immediately, especially if you are using a high-speed centrifuge. You should try to drink the juice as soon as possible, leave it at room temperature or add ice if you like. However, if it must be stored in the refrigerator, it should not exceed 24 hours. advertisement
Method 2 of 2: Use a juicer
Wash carrots. Rinse 1 kg of carrots (about 8 bulbs) under cold, running water. Use a vegetable scrub to scrub away if possible. Use a knife to cut off the large end of the bulb, where the bulb used to be or still is attached to the green leafy part of the carrot plant.- If you are particularly concerned about pesticides on the tubers, peel the carrots. This step does not significantly reduce the nutritional value of the juice.
- It is possible to buy organically grown carrots, which are more expensive, but not subjected to insecticide sprays.
Cut carrots. If an industrial press is available, this step is not necessary. If not, you need to cut the carrots into cubes 5-7.5 cm long.
Put the carrots in the juicer. Drop the carrot or carrot cut into the press. Press the machine's accessories to squeeze the carrots into the machine.- Observe the glass cup. If the carrot has plenty of water, the amount of juice in the cup will be more. Conversely, if the carrots are dry, you need to add them.
- The larger the funnel of the press, the faster the carrot juicing process takes place.

Advice
- Carrot juice usually settles quickly, so you need to stir the water bottle before drinking it.
- Carrots are rich in natural sugar. One serving of carrot juice can add nearly the recommended daily amount of sugar. Therefore, you should skip the dessert ice cream.
- For more flavor and variety, you can add other fruits such as strawberries and lemons.
- Undiluted carrot juice (skip the optional steps) has the same texture and consistency as whole milk.
- Add a mint for a delicious decoration and give it a festive vibe.
