The national nutrition database, does not have a listing for fresh carrot juice. Here are some other numbers for a comparison. All number are based on 100 gram samples. 100 grams of raw carrots have almost the same amount of protein as 100 grams of juice (that's comparing raw to cooked, though.) BUT, it takes more than 100 grams of carrots to make that 100 grams of juice. I just made some carrot juice. 35 ounces of carrot equals about 18.8 ounces (wt) of juice (2 1/4 cups), which means we lose about 46% of the carrot to get the juice. Looking at the info below, while it doesn't give us all the data we need, it seems the canned carrot juice has more concentrated protein than the canned carrots. I'd like to see more data for raw foods.
