The Health Benefits And Goodness Of This Beet Juice A slow cold pressed juicer separates the nutrient rich juice and dry pulp. If you have a compost, definitely throw the pulp into it. One thing that surprised us the first time we made juice at home, was that the pulp really doesn’t smell like much. It means we’re getting as much out of our produce as we can. You can see from the photo below that the pulp is pretty dry - that’s good. Alternatively, you can use a citrus reamer to juice the lemon and add it to the juiced vegetables later. Then we slice them, remove as many seeds as we can, and then pass it through the juicer. When it comes to lemon, we do remove the peel - it can be bitter. Lots of nutrients live in the peel so we leave that on. We do the same with cucumber and ginger - just rinse them then cut into strips that will easily fit the juicer. For the lemons, we peel them and remove seeds. We scrub it very clean with a veggie brush.

There is some debate about whether or not the spinning mechanism creates heat, which can possibly break down enzymes. A centrifugal juicer extracts juice by quickly spinning broken down veggies or fruits around until the juice separates from the pulp.Ĭentrifugal juicers are typically cheaper. Basically, this just means that the cold pressed variety slowly presses down the fruits or vegetables until the juice is completely pressed out and the now dry fibrous pulp falls into another container. The majority of juicers on the market can be broken down into two camps - slow juicers/cold pressed (also called macerating) and centrifugal juicers. We use an Omega juicer and absolutely love it. I’ve included our tips for this in the notes section of the recipe below. If juicing is a first for you, you can get away with using a high powered blender (like Blendtec or Vitamix). If you do not have one and you love the idea of juicing at home, we highly recommend purchasing one. When we make fresh juices at home, we use a juicer.
