I have loads of carrots in my garden and hate to waste the greens, although I do compost them. I don't use any pesticides. Are there health benefits to juicing the greens?

You can juice carrot greens as long as no pesticides are used. Otherwise, you are just drinking a lot of poison.

There would be some health benefits to carrot greens, but off hand, I don't know what they are. I would treat them as a green food though and realize they can potentially have a powerful effect on the body.

Nutrition always has benefits to the body but nutrition must always be done in balance. So I would not juice carrot greens in an extreme way, but just a balanced way. The approach I would use is 1 bunch of carrot greens for 1 carrot.

If you were juicing 1/2 carrot, then I would juice 1/2 carrot greens and so on.

Do you have questions about juicing vegetables and/or fruits?

Do you have questions about natural health and healing?

If so, Ask Jesse a question:

Some questions and answers may appear online to help others learn more about juicing, juicing techniques and about health and while we're at it, about happiness too!

If you really do not want your question and answer to appear online, just let me know.

Not all questions and answers will appear online. Instead, I like to publish those question and answers that can most benefit others.
