Important Information
Try and not peel too deep as most of the nutrients are concentrated just under the skin or dont peel at all if organic.
Theirs a myth that juicing/eating too many carrots will turn your skin orange which they say is from the beta carotene content, this is untrue, if you experience the slight orangey skin colour from juicing lots of carrots its from the liver cleansing fat and toxic bile out through your skin.
