No, just be sure to scrub and wash them well before juicing.

Can a person with normal blood pressure drink beet juice?

Consuming small amounts of beet juice should be fine for people with normal blood pressure. But, of course, you may wish to check with your healthcare provider to be sure.

Instructions

Wash the produce and chop everything so the pieces will fit into the feeder tube of your juicer. Remove the skin from the lemon and the ginger.
Feed the vegetable and fruit pieces through the juicer, alternating harder and softer textured pieces to aid in the juicing process. Or, if using a blender, add the ingredients to the base of a high speed blender. Add 1/2 cup of water and lock on the lid. Blend until well combined and then strain the juice through a nut milk bag into a large bowl.
Serve your fresh beet juice immediately, or store in the refrigerator in a covered container.

Notes

One pound of beets is equal to about 5 medium beets or 3 large beets.
You can easily double this recipe to make more juice.
Fresh juice is best served within 48 hours of making it.
You may wish to wear disposable gloves when handling raw beets as they can temporarily stain your hands.
