Chef Tips

If young carrots are not available, use regular large carrots, and cut them in half lengthwise and sliced into 2-inch long pieces

Although juice calories aren’t typically empty calories, when chugging juices in the name of good health, please be aware of their high sugar content. There’s little or no fiber to slow the sugar absorption into the system. It’s worth noting that 16oz of commercial organic carrot juice can have the same amount of sugar as a 12oz can of Classic Coke, so check nutrition labels on bottled juices and go easy.
