Purple Dragon Carrot 350 Seeds - Absolutely unique Review

Purple Dragon Carrot 350 Seeds - Absolutely unique
Average Reviews:

First off, nothing I have purchased from Hirts has produced anything like the pictures, I'm positive they turn the saturation way up on the photos for showmanship. Despite my carrots not looking very much like the photo they were not a disappointment & the seeds came with instructions good enough for a novice planter. I did dock a star or two since what I saw in the photo and what I got were the most different of anything Ive gotten from this seller. In fact I wonder if my pack had atomic red carrots by mistake.
In the Rocky Mountain region around 30% of my seeds sprouted but this was my first time planting carrots. The carrots that resulted were more of a beet red than a purple, making them look like long bright beets. The colored flesh is only a millimeter deep, meaning only a scratch reveals the orange inside. The shape of the carrot was rather normal instead of tubular like online. The flavor was more earthy than a commercial carrot. I still recommend them, the shock value is there and they were great for coloring up sushi, salads, and steaming them takes out any bitterness.

Absolutely unique, purple-skinned carrots with deep orange flesh. They look amazing in salads or as a steamed vegetable. Roots have a high antioxidant and vitamin content, so are best eaten raw and are perfect for making carrot juice.

Acme Juicerator Juice Extractor Review

Acme was the standard for juicers when we purchased ours 15 years ago. It still does everything -- soft, hard, and green leafy vegetables, fruits, and root vegetables. The pulp from carrot and celery make the base for a great "un-chicken" salad.
The citrus attachment is a worthwhile accesssory for orange and grapefruit juices. It is rock-solid and has never needed any part repaired or replaced.
On the down side, it is heavy, bulky, a bit noisy. The newer juicers appear more ergonomic and boast more features, but I'm not sure if they can lay claim to the durablility of the Acme.

You can expect the same from Acme. Even though the brand name says Acme, the commercial-kitchen quality of Acme juicers says Waring. Acme juicers offer you Waring¿s exclusive commercial-kitchen quality, from the powerful induction motor to the stainless steel blades and basket that will stand up to the crunchiest celery and toughest roughage, but bring out the most delicate of flavors thanks to the centrifugal action of the Acme Juicer 5001 and 6001 models. Whether you're making organic juice with grapes and a dash of healthy beets for breakfast, or going totally green with a celery, cucumber, and green pepper energy drink before a workout, the professional juice extractor promises to make the process clean and easy. The commercial quality stainless steel internal mechanisms and bowl are paired with a quietly confident 550-watt induction motor, producing professional results every time.

V8 Vegetable Juice, 12 oz. plastic bottle (12 pack) Review

While most members of my family like orange juice, it's much too sweet for my taste, so for a bit of extra Vitamin C, I opt for a fresh orange instead.
And when it comes to my juice drink, I've always liked the flavor of V-8. Not only does it taste good to me, since it's made from tomatoes and seven other vegetables--beets, celery, carrots, lettuce, parsley, watercress and spinach--it's healthy, also. While I get a hint of all those veggies in my V-8, the celery flavor seems dominant to me ... a flavor I love, incidentally. Whether this is unique with me, I have no idea. It's something I don't discuss with friends. All I know is that I can't help but smile as it slides down my throat. Yum ...
Another thing I like about V-8 is that since the kids in the family don't like it (sorry, Campbell's), I never have to worry about running out. But what I don't like about it is that it's high in sodium, thus requiring that I limit myself to 4 ounces every other day.
I know! I know! They make low-sodium V-8, but I've tried it and it's not for me. Just doesn't taste the same! However, in addition to my favorite, the Original, Campbell's also makes several other varieties: Spicy, Lemon, Picante, Low-Sodium, and Organic. I'm also a person who likes "lemon" flavor (such as lemon-meringue pie), so I plan to try the lemon soon.
There's something for everybody, so try it! You might like it! I certainly do! (Since I love the taste of this product so much, I feel guilty giving it a four-star, but I had to knock off one point due to the high-sodium factor.)
