Description

Carrot juice is a natural liquid extracted from the carrot, a root vegetable known for its vibrant orange color and sweet, earthy flavor. This juice is obtained by blending or juicing fresh carrots, thus preserving much of its essential nutrients and characteristic taste. It is a very popular ingredient in healthy cooking and in recipes for beverages, smoothies, and dressings, adding a sweet and fresh touch.

The carrot is native to Central Asia and has been cultivated for thousands of years, later spreading throughout Europe and America. Carrot juice is valued both for its flavor and its nutritional benefits.

Properties: Carrot juice is rich in beta-carotenes (provitamin A), antioxidants that help maintain healthy skin and good vision. It also contains vitamins C, K, and B complex, as well as minerals like potassium and magnesium. Furthermore, it is a hydrating, low-calorie beverage that can aid digestion and strengthen the immune system.

In different Hispanic American countries, carrot juice may simply be known as carrot juice, although in some places it is also called zumo de zanahoria or licuado de zanahoria when mixed with other ingredients or milk.
