Carrot Juicing Recipes

Unlike most vegetables, carrot juice has a sweet taste.  Due to its amazing health benefits and enjoyable taste, it is a very popular ingredient for many vegetable juicing recipes.

Many already know or have heard that carrots are great for improving vision.  Besides this, carrots contain many antioxidants that reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer.  They contain the largest amount of vitamin A out of all produce, which improves night vision and skin health.  The pectin in carrots can lower cholesterol levels.  Carrots also have small amounts of vitamin C, potassium, and vitamin K, making carrots a very powerful vegetable.  Carrots are extremely cheap at the grocery store, so you can even save money by making your own healthier carrot juicing recipes.

One caveat to vitamin A is that it is harder for your body to dispose of excess vitamin A because it is fat-soluble.  It is possible to overdose on vitamin A, known as hypervitaminosis A, which can cause a slew or problems including hair loss, skin discoloration, and bone fractures.  Fortunately, consuming less vitamin A will reverse the adverse effects.  The benefits of carrot juice vastly outweigh this potential overdose, so carrot juice is still a miracle vegetable when used in vegetable juicing.

Interestingly, unlike almost all other produce, you can increase the amount of nutrients through cooking.  Recent studies show that boiling carrots whole boosts health benefits.  The heat will soften the cell tissue inside the carrot, making it easier to absorb the nutrients from those cells.  In essence, by boiling it whole you are locking in the nutrients.  This isn’t to say you should not juice carrots – in fact, carrots should be a main staple in your vegetable juicing diet.

Here are some delicious carrot juicing recipes:
