How to Use Carrot Pulp
Carrot juice — as you know — is a very healthful
yourself, however, you’ve probably been amazed at how much
pulp is left over after putting a few carrots through the
juicer. The question is, what can you do with all those
solids?
Until last year, the carrot pulp from my kitchen went
straight to the compost heap (along with other kitchen
scraps). But then I started thinking what a shame it was to
have to waste all that food. After all, it was still orange . . . which meant it was almost certainly still loaded with
carotene (a vitamin A precursor) and other nutrients.
“Wouldn’t it be great,” I mused, “if there were some way to
put all that nutrition back into the family diet?”
Without further ado, I started to research some old recipes
that seemed suited to my purpose . . . and — after many
hours in the kitchen (which is not my normal domain) and
many failures — I finally came up with recipes for
three surprisingly good carrot-pulp creations: a marmalade,
a cake-like bread, and cookies. (See the recipes at the top of this article.)
