Experiment with different quantities to vary the sweetness and taste. The vegetables are most flavorful when juiced and consumed at room temperature. You can store juices overnight or for a short period of time in the refrigerator, but let the juice warm up to room temperature before drinking when possible. Vary the quantities of ingredients to get a different taste. For example; adding more apple will give a sweeter taste, while more celery or green vegetables will give the juice more of a bite.
Carrot Juicing Tips
Here are a few tips to keep in mind when juicing carrots:
1) Never looking into the food chute while the juicer is running. From time to time small particles of carrots get propelled back and can cause damage.
2) Only use the plunger to push the carrots down into the chute. Using an item knife or a wooden spoon can be potentially dangerous.
3) To save time purchase a greater number of thinner carrots instead of the fat ones. This way you will not have to spend time cutting them to fit the chute on the juicer. If you purchase a juicer with a very wide mouth then it does not matter.
4) Organic is better it will save you time and reduces exposure to potentially toxic substances.
