    sweet for you! i can't decide IF i want a juicer yet, and if i do get one, WHICH one to choose. I hear too much negative feedback about wasted produce in a centrifugal juicer, and i hear single-augers let lots of pulp through into the juice and you have to strain it...too much work; i'll stick to smoothies and wheatgrass shots ;)

    I have juiced the tops, yes. They kind of taste like parsley but are a bit strong so I usually don't juice all of them. Happy juicing!

    Congrats on your juicer!! You're going to love it!

    I would probably juice the carrot tops, but my carrots don't ever have tops:( Must find carrots with tops asap!

    We don't have a juicer but do eat carrot tops, especially off the purple colored varieties, in our salads and stir fry dishes. I would juice the top.:)
