the big carrot

I've been adding carrots into a lot of my juice recipes lately, not just because they are so readily available but because the bright orange root packs a powerful nutrition punch,

fresh carrot juice is full of beta-carotene, vitamin and minerals.

  

100 g of fresh carrot juice contains:

 2.1 mg of beta-carotene and 350 micrograms of vitamin A

    Up to 3 mg of vitamin C, which is necessary to maintain immunity

    0.2 mg of vitamin PP, which has beneficial effects on metabolic processes in the body

    0.01 mg of vitamin B1, required for proper function of the brain and nervous system

    0.02 mg of vitamin B2, needed to maintain healthy metabolism and vision

    0.3 mg of vitamin E for healthy cells and synthesis of hormones 

(It’s several times greater than in beet juice.)

Carrot juice is also rich in potassium (130 mg/100gr), calcium, sodium, magnesium, iron and phosphorus. Besides, this juice contains flavonoids, phytoncides and enzymes as well as organic acids, monosaccharides and disaccharides, starch and ash.
