Hello!
My juicer just arrived (the new Omega Vert) and I made my first juice ever. - It was so delicious.
I was just wondering, whether I need to peel carrots before juicing.
Thanks for helping,
blessings,

Okay, first, are they organic carrots? If yes, then just wash the carrots and zrooom them down the shoot. You don't have to cut the ends off or anything.
If they aren't organic... but you know they should be, right?... but if they were out of organic ones in 15 different stores and you had to use regular ones, then peel them before juicing them.
Except, are you making potassium broth? 'Cause if you're making potassium broth, you peel all of your carrots all the time, and throw the carrot peels into the K Broth soup pot. Yum!
You got an Omega Vert??? I am Sooo jealous...um, er, soooo happy for you! Cheers! You are going to be so spoiled. :)

When I watched the video on the Norwalk juicer thats used for the Gerson juice they said they just lightly scrubbed the carrots and juiced them, no need to peel.
Can you tell us how fast the Vert works, is it as fast as it seems in the video? The thing that made it look so good to me was that you didn't have to cut up the fruits and veggies which would save loads of time.
Thanks for sharing.

Whether a fruit or vegetable is organic OR non-organic, I do not peel them. A wealth of nutrition is found in the skin, so I don't remove it.
As many of you know, I do 'do my best' to detoxify non-organic produce before ingesting it: //www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1384077#i
Also, I do my best to ensure all natural microorganisms remain on the outside of produce - a quick rinse in water (or light scrubbing to remove dirt & debris) - is all I ever do. Occasionally (when I feel the need) I may add a splash of H202 to the rinse water.
Just fyi, having been a chain restaurant manager once-upon-a-lifetime-ago :::grin::: I *do* have a state certificate in food-born illness & food sanitation. On the other hand, my grandparents (one one side) were Iowa farm folks...so I spent many a joyous hour eating fruit from the tree/vine (and ground), and munching on veggies right out of the garden (most-times I hosed them off with the garden hose...but I'll admit, there was times I was too busy-to-bother. lol) 'Nothing like devouring a fresh ear of corn or tomatoes (or even a beet) to quench your thirst when you're outside playing on a scorching August day in Iowa.
Always remember: Pasteur was wrong - he admitted it on his deathbed - "germs" are NOT the cause of disease (any more than mosquitoes cause a pond to be stagnant). It's *because* the pond is stagnant, that there's an overgrowth of mosquitoes. If the pond is NOT stagnant, and our bodies are teeming with all the flora & microorganisms that are natural (and in a NATURAL balance), then invading pathogens don't stand a chance of multiplying.
So do your best to listen to your doctor within, and don't destroy any natural/vital microorganisms, or 'peel off' vitamin & minerals...unless you have a good reason for doing so.

This is a reply to # 1,499,147So... "depends?"
Uny, does this mean people who are buying inorganic (sprayed with pesticide) apples with that wax stuff on there leave the peel on? That doesn't sit right with me if we are talking about 5 pounds of apples a day or more that we are juicing.
I'm totally with ya on the Iowa farm girl thing. There is NOTHING like pulling off an ear of corn right in the field, shucking it and eating it raw, or popping warm blackberries into your mouth, straight off the bushes. A little dirt may be good for you!
But chemical fertilizer and pesticide from commercial growers? Or from Mexico, Central America, and Chile, where a lot of produce in Texas comes from? I want to make sure we aren't contradicting each other. We're just so careful about our herbs.
Just so Solmare and others understand, I *do* peel my carrots so I can make Potassium Broth with them.

So... "depends?" I suppose it may be a "depends" answer, to some. I do not peel my produce before juicing, nor do I recommend it. Nor do I recommend ingesting poisons while trying to heal.
Uny, does this mean people who are buying inorganic (sprayed with pesticide) apples with that wax stuff on there leave the peel on? That doesn't sit right with me if we are talking about 5 pounds of apples a day or more that we are juicing.
Nope - I do not think we should ingest poisons along with our produce - I think we should do this instead: http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1384077#i
(by the way, "wax" is allowed on organic, I'm almost sure)
I'm totally with ya on the Iowa farm girl thing. There is NOTHING like pulling off an ear of corn right in the field, shucking it and eating it raw, or popping warm blackberries into your mouth, straight off the bushes. A little dirt may be good for you!
Everything in moderation :::grin::: dirt included (disclaimer: as long as it's HEALTHY dirt, lol)
But chemical fertilizer and pesticide from commercial growers? Or from Mexico, Central America, and Chile, where a lot of produce in Texas comes from? I want to make sure we aren't contradicting each other. We're just so careful about our herbs.
I'm glad you posted - if you thought 'otherwise' then others may have, too. Organic OR detoxify it in bentonite clay & water (adding activated charcoal would be even more thorough, but it makes another step of 'rinsing off the black' which most folks just won't do).Can I be SURE we're adsorbing all the pesticides/chemicals with the bentonite? Not without incredibly extensive research and knowing what pesticide/herbicide was used (but I have researched bentonite to be very effective for most farm chemicals). After all these years, I can tell the difference between organic and non organic 'by taste', and when I detox non-organic produce with bentonite in water, I can no longer taste the chemicals. The vitamins/minerals in the peels are VERY important (in some produce, the vast majority of the nutrition is in the peel...so we must do our best to get rid of the poisons so we CAN juice the whole fruit/veggie.
Heal ON!

This is a reply to # 1,499,047Hi Solmare... Oooo I'm jealous too! I've been wanting either the Omega 8006 or the Vert. I have a Champion & need to make sure I'll juice regularly before I can justify spending money on a new juicer. 8-(
After you've had it a while please send us reports on how easy it is to use, clean, screw the top on etc!.... By the way I read somewhere that you should be very careful putting the top on -- that it can lock sometimes if it goes on in the wrong position. Don't know how true it is, but be careful with that just in case.
ENJOY!

This is a reply to # 1,499,047Thank you all for your helpful answers!
I've only used the Omega vert twice and I have never had a juicer before, so I can't really give a good estimation.
But here's what I've noticed:
-The juice is amazing. I've never had that great juice in my life
- juicing apples goes really fast. You don't have to wait for anything. You just keep throwing the cut apples in.
-I don't know how it is with other juicers, but when juicing carrots, the motor blocks quite often and you have to push the reverse button which transports the carrot back up into the chute. Then you can continue. I don't know whether this is normal or whether there's something wrong with my particular model. As long as the carrots are thin or not too long there are no problems. But when I put in thick long carrots, the motor blocks very often
- The juicer is very quiet
- I'm personally very slow when it comes to cleaning up. So I can't really tell how long it takes for a normal person
Overall I'm very happy with it. But I will still have to see, what the reason for this carrot issue is. - My particular model, or just normal for any juicer when putting in long thick carrots? - In that case I will just cut them in thinner pieces.
I will let you know more, once I've used it more often.

Thank you Solmare!.... That's interesting about the carrots. I saw that happen in one of the videos on YouTube -- carrots making him have to reverse it.
That's one thing about the champion -- carrots, beets, apples & celery just blast through it. Of course it doesn't preserve as many nutrients from what I've read. And it's not good w/ greens.
We'll be interested in updates as you use it!
