Hello hello!
I'm going to share an age-old secret with you...
The other day my grandmother gave me one of those pieces of advice that seem silly... but then you try them and say: "why wasn't I doing this before?". She told me: "add a little carrot to your orange juice and you'll see how good it is". I looked at her with a face that said "what kind of invention is this?"... but hey, she was absolutely right.
Another one of her star pieces of advice was "don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today," and she was so right... Our Orri mandarins this week were an example of that. Anyone who didn't buy them over the weekend will have to wait until next week, because this week's harvest is already sold out. They are so coveted that they fly off the shelves, so if I were you, I'd reserve my order on Thursday, so I don't miss out.
Going back to the orange, you already know what it has: vitamin C, freshness, and that flavor that wakes you up more than an alarm clock. But when you add carrot, something curious happens: the juice becomes smoother, naturally sweeter, and with an intense orange color that looks like it's straight out of an advertisement.
In addition, carrots have beta-carotene and antioxidants, which are great for the skin, eyesight, and for starting the day with energy. My grandmother says it's one of those drinks that "recharges your body without making a sound." And listen... she must know something after so many breakfasts.
The trick is easy: squeeze a couple of oranges, blend half or one carrot, mix well, and that's it. Cold in the morning, it goes down easily. And if you try it once... I'm warning you, regular juice will then seem like it's missing something.
By the way, we currently have oranges and carrots on the Campos del Abuelo website. So if you want to try this little grandma's secret... you know where the raw material comes from. 🍊🥕
I'm signing off to continue with my work, tending to the orchard and to you, of course.
A big hug and thank you for supporting Spanish agriculture. See you next week.
