Rhubarb-Carrot Juice
May 30, 2012
Rhubarb looks a bit like red celery, but it’s actually a member of the fruit family. Juicing is a great way to take in valuable nutrients without having your body word hard to break down the fibers. It’s high in many vitamins such as calcium, vitamin K and Lutein, a natural antioxidant that’s great for healthy eyes and skin. When you “juice” fruits and vegetables, the food value is readily available to your body in larger quantities than when you eat the fruit whole. The benefits of consuming juiced fruits and veggies include keeping your heart, liver and kidneys strong and healthy.

Kelley thank you. It's fixed now. I was thinking leaves but I guess that didn't come out right. Much appreciated

The recipe states "stems removed". The stem is the part you eat, so you probably meant 'leaves removed". The leaves are quite toxic and should never be eaten!

The recipe looks delicious, however, Rhubarb is not a member of the fruit family, it is a vegetable.
