Why This Recipe Works
While you might be skeptical at the thought of juicing a parsnip, its unique taste evokes flavors of sweet potatoes and warm spices that make for a delicious base. Here, the starchy and sweet parsnip was complemented by a ripe, juicy pear as both are surprisingly sweet and thick, which produced a juice with solid body. Unfortunately, pale parsnips and a pear do not make for a pretty pair color-wise. When looking for a colorful add-in, we tasted regular oranges versus blood oranges; the latter provided a much-needed, berry-like tartness that mellowed out the sweetness of the juice—and contributed a vibrant fuchsia hue. For a little zip, fresh ginger invigorated and enlivened the entire combination.
