Cold-Pressed Art
Sqwaaaaaaaack! About once per week now I have been juicing a batch of veggies. This batch was about 10 pounds worth and made 12 bottles of 18 oz green juice.
In total:
2 bags of Super Greens
1 bag of Pears
2.5 lbs of Carrots
6 Stalks of Celery
1.5 lbs of Ginger
2 Hands of Turmeric
What does that look like?
Are you wondering what are the most nutritious vegetables to juice?

Prepping the Pulp and Pressing
Each of the following squares represents a piece of pressed vegetable pulp. The ground-up juicing ingredients are pressed without heat at 5,000 lbs of force.

Inside of each press cloth is a magical thing that happens when there's no liquid - natural art of compressed insoluble fiber! I say insoluble fiber because juice has fiber, which is water soluble and in liquid form, and it has insoluble fiber that we know as pulp and physical structure of fruits and veggies. The nutrition is in the juice.

Thank you! I have thought about painting over them to see what might result. I might juice a beet with the batch in the future to get a completely different color @manouche

Oooh, a beetroot will totally colour this up! Would be wonderful. You could also just process this to become paper, @storybird.
With so many juice shops throwing away the pulp, it'd be great if somehow they could all be processed into beautiful paper like this!
