What is Juicing?
Juicing is the separation of the juice and the fibre (pulp) from the produce being juiced. The juicing process breaks down the cells of the produce which releases the liquids in to one receptacle and the fibres are discarded in to a separate container. Why would we want to do this? Removing the fibre allows us to get at more of those essential nutrients contained in fruits and vegetables which would otherwise take a lot of chewing to eat, juice is also much easier for the body to absorb and digest. As we are now being encouraged to eat 5 different portions of fruit and vegetables per day – juicing is an excellent way to get these nutrients in to our bodies. The juicing process also discards the chemicals found in non-organic food into the pulp.
