I juice a lot! Will the pulp of my carrots and apples and other veggies serve as food?

Yeah, that would be fine. Just don't put anything like Onions or other acidic foods in there.

I am a novice but it makes perfect sense to me that pulp from veggies or fruit would be ambrosia to the little crawlers. I know I was picking up some debris courtesy of the kids at the bus stop and there was a strawberry milk shake that the earth worms were feasting on and they were fat and sassy......

The pulp you have left after extracting the juice would make fine bedding material but you will have removed most of the nutrients. Peels, cores, and other discard should contribute food as it breaks down.

This will make fine food for the worms. While juicing does extract some nutrients, the worms are most interested in the decaying matter and will gobble the pulp down. Just be mindful not to overfill the bin with scraps. Add a little bit at a time. Balance it out with brown matter (brown paper sacks etc) & other "yummy" foods. There is an overwhelming amount of information on the web about keeping worms if you have an interest.

Yes, I really like it. We just did apples, the kids drank the juice almost faster than I could make it! We made apple sauce and fruit leather with the apples. I think it is the way to go for juicing and having apples to do something with after you get juice. Hope this helps. God Bless.

I don't think you'll obtain a lot of juice but it can...You won't get enough/any juice from dried fruit or legume (such as avocado ... Or cocoa nibs..) .... And I don't think any other juicer will get you that...

The juicer will do all those vegetables and more. I have done raw kohlrabi, radishes, beets, and all types of fruit. You will have to peel things like oranges or melons, it does not process them separately.

Yes, I regularly juice carrots, apples, oranges,limes, kale,& ginger root, great am drink. I make a half gallon at a time, lasts 5 days fresh in the fridge. Kale is like spinach, ginger root is gnarlier than any other vegetable. I love this juicer. Heavy duty, industrial strength.

Yes it does leave some pulp in it. During winter when I don't have oranges I buy juice and it doesn't have pulp. I think you will like it ok.

It juices all of those items excellently. I juiced pineapple, greens, carrots and beet the other day. One of the videos about juicing I watched on YouTube recommended this juicer as the best for fruit. I have found that for best results, the trick is to alternate items when juicing.

For manual Juicers, Yes. I make Kale / Apple all the time. Almost every day.

In my opinion YES. Fruit and veggies consist not only of juice but also fibrous pulp -and BOTH are important for digestive health. A good blender makes the pulp as easy to drink as juice alone. Blendtec does the job.

I've done carrots and it's not a problem at all. As Little Lolo already mentioned, it won't be a juice. It'll be more like a smoothie since you'll have small little pulp remnants. You could use a cheese cloth to strain the juice from the pulp, if you so desire. Although, nutritionally, it's best to retain the pulp for any fruit/veggie you blend in the Blendtec.

Yes. Use the "hard fruit" setting on the Breville juicer. I put a small piece of raw ginger in my carrot, cucumber, celery juice every day and it's great. Of course, there isn't a great deal of juice in ginger, so don't expect a lot of juice, but what you do get is extremely potent.

Yes,& No.It will make carrot juice but, you will get small chunks of carrot.the motor is not powerful enough to beat the carrots to a pulp. For chopping.Yes! For juicing.No! If you are looking for a machine that can produce 100% juice,i would recommend the Nutribullet Rx.

Yes! I love this juicer! I generally just put whole apples and carrots and what not in and it always does fine. Pretty large shoot. Of course, some fruits might be too big, like grapefruits and things like that, but I would definitely recommend this juicer!

YES! I load it with kale, carrots, beats, broccoli, cucumbers... Great juicer.

It really depends on the fruit/vegetable and the size of the glass. We have 12oz or 16oz glasses, and three to four average macintosh or granny smith apples, in general, will approximately fill that. Fruits/vegetables with more water content will require less than those with a denser fibre content, for instance carrots require a bit more as they contain more dry fibre than do apples. It also depends on the juicer as different machines are more or less efficient at extracting the juice from the fibre waste. This Breville unit is fairly efficient--one of the better non-industrial juicers I have used.

No, it only juices the fruits and veggies. You need a blender for that, some fruits like berries you can just throw in blender with the ice and whatever else.

Using a juicer removes all the pulp, which is fiber and what you need! Healthiest option is to eat the whole food... use the vitamix with water and drink your veggies! I had a big juicer sitting on my counter, a pain to take apart and clean, cleaning out the pulp container... save pulp to add to other things, but wait, why don't I just add all I want to my blender... so my juicer is put away waiting for my Vita Mix to replace that and my blender. Just trying to decide on which model I will get...think this is the one!
