I personally believe onions are not nearly talked about enough in health food and vegetarian circles. Onions have all sorts of excellent nutritional values such as antioxidants and natural anticancer properties. Onions are also known to be a very effective antiflamatory and anticholesterol vegetable source. In preparing the onion for juicing, be sure and peel the outer dry skin, wash thoroughly, and juice. Onions are know to cause heart burn, so you may want to regulate the onion portion of this recipe depending on your own personal sensitivity to the vegetable.
Cabbage has been recently ranked amongst top health food journals as one of the healthiest foods you can eat. It's full of nutrients and minerals such as, vitamin a, vitamin k, vitamin c, vitamin b6, calcium, iron, potassium, manganese, folate, and many others. Cabbage is known to fight cell damage that leads to cancer as well. Depending on the freshness and storage of the cabbage head you'll be using, you many want to adjust your recipe portions accordingly to yield enough cabbage juice within the mixture.
I was surprised to find out recently that cauliflower is an excellent source of vitamin c. According to recent government studies performed in the US, a single cup of cauliflower can yield as much as 80% of the daily adult recommended allowance of vitamin c. Cauliflower also contains, vitamin a, potassium, folate, riboflavin, zinc, iron, protein, pantothenic acid, calcium, magnesium, and many others.
Brussels sprouts were first cultivated in Brussels Belgium, hence the name, and are commonly misspelled as "Brussel Sprouts". Don't forget to add an "s" to the end of Brussels. Brussels sprouts are very rich in vitamin c, vitamin a, calcium, and folic acid.
Now you'll notice I'm only allowing for one Chile pepper in this recipe combo. You can adjust the Chile pepper portion depending on how spicy you want your carrot Chile pepper juice to be. I thought I would play it on the safe side, I don't want to be the cause of any of our website visitors to get an upset stomach. I'm also not real tolerant of really spicy food myself, although I do enjoy it from time to time.
