Guess what? They were absolutely delicious - so sweet. However once I got over my naivety and read the label I realized that there was sugar added! Oh well ...... Anyways, I find that in my local market that shoppers in general aren't willing to pay the extra for organic and you can often find them near the expiry date but reduced and cheaper than non-organic. If you use right away they're every bit as tasty. Happy juicing, John When I started juicing I had trouble finding fresh produce all year round so bought canned baby carrots. Guess what? They were absolutely delicious – so sweet.

However once I got over my naivety and read the label I realized that there was sugar added! Oh well ……

Anyways, I find that in my local market that shoppers in general aren’t willing to pay the extra for organic and you can often find them near the expiry date but reduced and cheaper than non-organic. If you use right away they’re every bit as tasty.

Happy juicing, John

Then they sell them at double the price and call them baby bananas. It reminds me of the tiny bananas that are too small to be sold as regular bananas.

The baby carrots do not taste any better than juicing the regular ones. Plus they are more expensive which makes doesn't make it cost effective. @Smartmove, you are correct.

Large organic carrots with dirt on them are what we like. Here in Scandinavia baby carrots are not that common. Large organic carrots with dirt on them are what we like.

I came to this same conclusion a while back when I remembered how much I loved crunching on a full-sized carrot when I was a child. And then I looked at the price difference! Yeah this is a no-brainer when you stop and think about it. But don't sacrifice the organic carrots, I think the raw carrots are only 30-50 cents more than their non-organic counterparts.
