Carrots should be fresh, not rotten, dry or soft. Then peel and cut carrots into pieces and put them into a juicer, which is helpful for better juicing. After juicing, add appropriate amount of boiling water to dilute the sweetness. Generally, one or two carrots can squeeze about half a cup, and most people think it will be sweeter. Increasing the temperature of carrot juice or cooking and squeezing juice can make it better for eating and absorption.

Tips for making carrot juice

Carrot juice is called small ginseng, which is rich in potassium and β-carotene, so it is the first choice for working people and cats to juice. But the unique raw taste makes people dislike it very much.

Raw carrots have a raw taste after juicing, and many people don't like it. You can add a small amount of apples to beat them together to reduce the raw taste, or you can cook carrots before juicing. The cooked carrot juice is more tender and sticky, which is more suitable for children or the elderly.

How to make carrots the most nutritious?

First of all, we should understand that whether carrot nutrition is easy to absorb mainly refers to carotene. Carotene is fat-soluble, so it needs oil to help it absorb. Is it that the more oil, the better? One study gave subjects cooked vegetables rich in carotene. The results showed that the amount of oil did not cause significant difference in carotene absorption. Another study came to a different conclusion. They gave the subjects vegetable salads with different fat contents. It was found that people who ate salads with higher fat content absorbed more carotene. Why are there different conclusions? In fact, the difference is that in the first study, the vegetables eaten were cooked; In the second study, raw vegetables were used.

Therefore, through these experiments, we can draw the following conclusions to make carrots the most nutritious:

1, raw carrots, raw carrots are easy to make the water-soluble vitamins and minerals absorbed by the human body, so drinking freshly squeezed carrot juice can play a role in relaxing bowels and detoxifying. But eating raw is not the best way to absorb carotene. For example, when the shredded radish is cold-mixed, the more oil is put, the more carotene is absorbed, but too much oil is harmful to health.

2, cooked carrots, can fully absorb carotene. Carotene is a fat-soluble substance, just like lycopene in tomatoes, the absorption rate of carotene will be greatly improved only by putting more oil in cooking. Even after cooking, you can get a lot of carotene with a little sesame oil, and the effect is similar to that when you use a lot of oil. Even if you don't use oil, you can absorb carotene easily by eating fat from other dishes.
