How strong of a juice does cilantro make? I enjoy cilantro but it's a rather strong flavor to me. Can you give me an idea of the proportion you're using it in compared to the rest of the juice?
Cilantro and parsley are very strong. I feel that celery juice, cucumber juice, and carrot juice are 3x stronger than eating raw celery, cucumber, or carrots. But cilantro and parsley are like 10x stronger.
The cilantro juice in my drinks is always less than 2% of the total volume, but the cilantro is the first thing you smell and taste when you drink.
You were not kidding about parsley juice being strong. I was wary of trying out cilantro since I find it so strong to begin with, so I tested out some parsley in my personal V8 recipe. I thought I barely used any but it was enough to give the whole thing a grassy taste. I finished it off for the nutritional benefits but I will be much more sparing with the parsley if I do that again. I think I put in 5 stalks with the leaves on and I'll be cutting that to 1 or 2.
