Use leaf, stem and root,
Flower, seed, and fruit
Eat some of each at every meal
And
This morning's delightful juice: mint and spinach leaves, celery (stem) & broccoli (stem and flowers), ginger root, apples including cores and seeds, and a wedge of lime. It was very pulpy - I don't know whether the Champion juicer is failing, or I should use a different size screen, or whether it was something about the composition. I had to twist the pulp in cheesecloth to get all the juice out of it. Of course the pulp was delightful, so I've been eating it too later in the day; stuffed ripe avocado with it, and used it as a dip with raw pumpkin seed wafers.
Not all my juice inventions are so tasty. I made one a few days ago with all good things in it -- the above, plus berries, carrot and leek -- but it looked like swamp water and didn't taste much better. I think the leek was not such a good idea. Also, berries are so good just to eat it's silly to throw them into the juicer. A Natural Health Consultant told me that apples are the only fruit that combines well with vegies in juicing....although carrot and pineapple is yummy.
This is a gradual transition to fresh 'n' raw eating, with one meal a day over the weekend that was cooked: kosher chicken and boiled potatoes one day, thick bean soup another, and salmon, capers and hollandaise with poached eggs on English muffins another day ("Eggs salmon benedict"). That was the only flour I've had all week, though. Still, I'm experiencing some detox symptoms.
