Celery is a crisp, high-water-content stalk vegetable from the Apiaceae family. Many of us have probably munched on these with a little peanut butter growing up. However, there’s more to this green stalk.
Celery is low in calories yet rich in vitamins K, C and A, along with essential minerals like potassium and folate. Not only will this vegetable give your juices a boost in hydration, but you can also count on it to give you that extra kick in nutrition.
Eh, what's up, doc? Bugs Bunny may be the reason why people think bunnies munch on these crunchy, orange veggies day and night. Move over, bunnies, because we seek out carrots for their high beta-carotene content - which your body converts into good old vitamin A. That’s why many often associate carrots with good eyesight.
Beyond vitamin A, carrots are also packed with vitamin C, vitamin K, potassium and a variety of antioxidant carotenoids. As much as we love carrots, we understand that they may be an acquired taste. That’s why Little West adds carrots to cold pressed juices. We make it easier and more convenient for you.

Cayenne pepper (aka Capsicum Annuum) is a fiery spice native to Central and South America. This long, slender red chili can reach heat measured between 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville heat units! Don’t worry. That’s not too hot. In terms of the Hot Ones lineup, you’re looking at the fourth bottle out of the ten. So, is cayenne pepper just spice? No!
When added sparingly to juices (remember, it’s spicy), cayenne imparts a warmth and an extra dose of vitamins A, C and E, along with anti-inflammatory and circulation-boosting properties. At Little West, we add just enough to give you its benefits, but not so much that you won’t be able to drink your juice.
