hi guys,

what do you do with your left over pulp from juicing?

The citrus pulp goes into my compost pile and the veggie pulp goes into my worm farm.

I know some folks add the pulp to crackers and breads tho.

If it is fruit pulp it is the "wet" base for raw granola....just add ground flax, nuts, seeds, raisins or other dried fruit, even shreded apples; and Dehydrate!

Hmm, I wish I had chickens! Good ol' natural manure! Ha ha!*

Pulp... I make soup with mine! Add water to it to make a soupy consistency, then dice up veggies like peppers, cucumber, avocados (which I realize are all technically fruit...;)), and chow down!

Also, if the juice I've made is sweeter (made some lovely pineapple-celery-spinach juice the other day), the pulp could be added back into a green smoothie. I saved my pineapple etc. pulp, put it back in the vitamix, and added water, bananas, and some kale and it was quite good!

So, for me, savoury pulp = soups, and sweeter pulps = green smoothies!

*Manure from chicken droppings, not from the chickens themselves, btw. Thought I might clear that up just in case!

Just made my first batch of juice from my new juicer and all I can say is WOW! Carrots make a lot of pulp.

I kept it simple for my first batch with some carrot apple, though I do plan to juice greens, beets, celery, etc. I bought the juicer mainly to juice veggies.

Does anyone have a "bread" recipe that utilizes pulp? Particularly carrot pulp.

Also, has anyone given pulp to their dogs? I'm not talking about a meal replacement, but a meal supplement. My dogs are fed "The Honest Kitchen" which some of you may know of. Very hight quality dehydrated food - but they always act like they are starving, so I thought I might supplement their meals with a little pulp to help them feel more full. Has anyone done this?
