1 cup (medium) of Black Carrot Juice (200 g) has 56 calories. That works out to 28 calories per 100 g. It contains 12.6 g of carbs, 1.2 g of protein, 0.2 g of fat and 2 g of fiber. Its 1900 µg of Vitamin A covers 211% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 40 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Black Carrot Juice is made by pressing dark purple carrots, whose deep colour comes from natural plant pigments. In Turkey, black carrots are especially familiar as the base for şalgam, a tangy fermented drink; freshly pressed juice is a different, generally sweeter option. It can be enjoyed on its own or used as a colourful addition to drinks and recipes.
The flavour is gently sweet, earthy and less sharp than fermented şalgam. Serve it chilled alongside a meal or as a light refreshment. At 28 calories per 100 g, it is a low-calorie drink and provides a little fibre. If you prefer a milder taste, dilute it with water or combine it with citrus; its vivid colour also works well in smoothies.

An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Black carrot juice contains anthocyanins, the pigments that give it its deep color, and it provides vitamin C. It can be part of a varied diet, but it is not a treatment or cure for disease.
Black carrot juice usually tastes mildly sweet, earthy, and more robust than ordinary orange carrot juice. A distinctly sour taste may mean the drink has been fermented or blended with other ingredients, so check how it is described.
Wash and trim black carrots, then run them through a juicer. Without a juicer, blend grated carrots with a little water and strain the mixture. Drink it fresh, since homemade juice is best not left sitting for long.
Black carrot juice gets much of its dark color from anthocyanins, while orange carrot juice is known for its beta-carotene. The black variety is darker and often has a more earthy flavor.
No. Black carrot juice is juice made from black carrots, while şalgam is a traditional Turkish fermented drink made with ingredients including black carrot and turnip. Şalgam is typically tangier and saltier, and its fermentation gives it a different character.
Black carrot juice is purple or deep red because black carrots contain anthocyanin pigments. The color is naturally present in the carrots, and its intensity can vary with the variety and the amount used.
Yes, black carrot juice can stain clothes because its dark pigments cling to fabric. Rinse a spill promptly with cool water; letting it sit or using hot water straight away can make the stain harder to remove.
Keep opened black carrot juice sealed in the refrigerator and follow the package’s instructions for how soon to use it. Drink freshly made juice promptly, and discard it if its smell, taste, or appearance changes noticeably.
Yes, you can drink black carrot juice daily as one beverage in a varied diet. Keep portions moderate and avoid making sweetened versions a regular substitute for water.
Yes, large amounts may cause digestive discomfort, and frequent servings can add more natural sugars to your diet than you intend. Its strong pigments can also temporarily affect the color of urine or stool.
