Beetroot Juice

Use fresh, crisp fruit and vegetables for juicing. Buy them in season and store in the refrigerator if required.

Wash under a stream of running water, and gently scrub beets, carrots and apples (if non-organic) with a natural bristle brush.

Peel citrus fruits. Rinse celery, and thoroughly rinse greens if using for juicing.

Follow your juicer manufacturer's instructions to cut fruit and vegetable into pieces - small beetroot and carrots, usually can be pushed through the juicer whole.
