    Default Poll: how much juice from 5 carrots?

    Hi, everyone, i am curious to know how much juice does your juicer juice from about 5 average carrots (some were big some small, so about 5 average sized carrots)

    what type of juicer?
    how much juice?

    Omega 8005
    a little less than 1 cup

    *i put almost all the pulp through twice, but it only produced a little more juice.

    do you put it through twice?

    I am wondering if i should try to sell this and get a twin gear? maybe a greenstar?

    Weigh your carrots and we will do this properly.
    I will do it with my Green Star.
    I do think that it will still not be scientific as I find that as the carrots get older they give less juice and our carrots will not be the same age.

    I have the same juicer and get about the same amount of juice from carrots. I get frusterated because I feel like I should get way more juice! and then I feel bad for wasting all the pulp...I try and add the pulp into salsa, tomato sauce etc...but a lot still isnt used. I am curious too to see how much other types of juicers get out of the carrots....

    Carrot pulp is awesome for breads and crackers.
    That looks about like how much juice I would expect to get from that quantity of carrots in my Green Star, and it seems like plenty to me. :)

    I have a osterizer and get about 16-20fl. oz of carrot juice from 1-2 carrots. They are big carrots though.

    Maybe about the size of 1/4 a bag of carrots you would get from a grocery store.
