If you like hard work and using a little bit of elbow grease to get things done, you'll enjoy juicing your own carrots using the Back to Basics juicer. The Back to Basics juicer is technically a manual wheatgrass juicer, but it can be used to juice other fruits and vegetables. Hard vegetables like carrots need to be shredded into smaller, more manageable pieces before manual juicing. Be prepared to work up a sweat as you turn the juicer crank. You can reward yourself with a glass of nutritious carrot juice at the end of the juicing process.
Step 1
Rinse 10 carrots well to clean off any debris.
Step 2
Cut off the carrot stems.
Step 3
Shred the carrots using a manual or electronic shredder.
Step 4
Situate the juicer on a counter top in a secure position. Clamp the juicer in place on the side of the counter.
Step 5
Position a glass at the spout of the juicer.
Step 6
Feed small handfuls of shredded carrot into the mouth of the juicer. Turn the crank by hand to grind the carrot to a pulp and extract the juice.
Tips and Warnings
- Try combining carrot juice with apple and beet juice for a sweet and nutritious treat.
