lol I love grapefruit juice - I juiced 3 red ones today and drank it straight. Are you juicing the red or white ones? White, I find, is a bit more sour.

Oranges are indeed the solution - just add a couple of sweet oranges to your juice until it tastes good to you. I've mixed pineapple and grapefruit too. Any citrus will work.

Hmmm, some peels are bitter, but I've never dreamed of peeling beets (or other root goodies), as SO much nutrition is in the skins.

Are beet roots bitter to you/others? I've never tasted anything but 'sweet' and 'dirt' in beets or beet juice.

I have an Omega Juicer 8005 (and a vintage reamer type/handle-lever juicer). I can't imagine being able to put a rock hard beet in that thing and expect to get juice. The only think I'd expect to get is a MESS! ('m really good at messes :)

What you say about marmalade/bitter in regards to orange peels is VERY true. Occasionally (VERY occasionally) I juice the whole citrus (to get the pectin from the skins), but it's not very tasty (to me).

As you can tell, I don't do much juicing for 'taste' reasons only (although I do have my favorites...celery/whole pineapple 'straight' (or with a splash of oj and a handful of something deep green for variety) is at the top of my list currently.

Juice ON!

Let me know how it tastes? :) :) :)
