11 Recipes for Juicing

First things first. Always scrub your produce thoroughly. Investing in a brush is a good idea. As for peeling, most of the nutrients in fruits and vegetable is just beneath the skin. If possible, avoid peeling and simply toss everything into the juicer as-is. You need to peel oranges, but use other peels and rinds as much as possible.

And there is no need to throw out the pulp. Save it for the next time you make a vegetable broth. This book has a few recipes that provide a perfect use for that healthy pulp.
