I just got an older model Juiceman Jr from freecycle. I was amazed at how dry the pulp was and how much juice I got from 1 apple and 9 organic baby carrots (a little over 8 oz) I am just wondering what are the benefits of juicing instead of just eating the apple and the carrots? Besides the obivious, it tasted great and was quick to eat/drink.

juicing versus eating the fruit/veggie?
-
Benefits ~ you get more nutrients because you are juicing more fruits and/or veggies than you could possibly eat.
Negatives ~ no fiber.
For information on juicing and it's benefits, one of the first and still best books I've ever read on the matter ~ Fresh Vegetable and Fruit Juices by N. W. Walker. IF you can find it, it's usually fairly in-expensive.

what about not if you juiced it, but made a smoothie. This is a Noobie question, I'm sure, but it still has all the fiber right? and are you getting the extra nutrients still?

If you juice using a twin gear juicer it releases some of the goodness that you can not get at by either just eating or blending.
There is sufficient in the world for man's need, but not for his greed.
