whole fruit juice

[Guest guest]

I

purchased a hi powered blender awhile back, and have been making nectars

- i admit i am not crazy about the veggies so i just eat those, but it

makes a really nice pear, apple and grape nectar which i am addicted to.

you can use any fruit for this - just add water, but nothing is deleted

from the fruit. I also do this with lemons, seeds and

all and sweeten with maple syrup. I do get an energy boost but....

since the whole fruit is there i doubt if it's just the sugar.

btw you cant include appleseeds because they can be poisonous. so

if you own a vitamix or the like give it a try.

 

I wouldn't worry about getting cyanide poisoning

from the Amygdalin compounds in apple seeds. The dose is so low it

is negligable and wouldn't be enough to cause asphyxiation from the conversion

into HCN (Hydrogen Cyanide). Now, eating the inside of a peach or

aprocot pit on the other hand, might prove to be more dangerous because

the amygdalin compounds there exist in much higher concentrations.

You are welcome. There are a lot of seeds that

are potentially harmful to eat. For example, there are the seeds

of the caster plant (ricinus communis), which contain the deadly poison

ricin. This poison, if memory serves me, is deadly because it keeps

the body from being able to engage in protein synthesis. The best

way to determine which seeds, berries, plants, roots, herbs, and other

foods are poisonous is to order a good book off of amazon on the subject.

People should have some idea which parts of a plant are poisonous in the

region they live--especially if you have children.
