How to Use Pulp From Juicer

According to the Harvard School of Public Health, juicing is a good way to increase the amount of fruits and vegetables in your diet, but eating the whole fruit is better because it guarantees you get all the fiber and nutrients possible. Because of this, many people who juice have also found creative ways to use the pulp. This pulp usually contains most of the fiber and many vitamins and minerals, so incorporating it into your diet increases the health benefits of juicing.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Use juice pulp to bake cakes and muffins. Carrot and apple pulp are common additions, but you can use any kind of pulp. According to the Happy Juicer, using pulp in your recipes helps retain moisture.

2. Add pulp to sauces. Because pulp is already so finely ground, it often cooks down in things like pasta sauce or gravy, providing a nutritional punch without adversely affecting the sauce's original texture.

3. Use the pulp from fruits like berries to make sorbet. Blend with ice, add sugar or additional fruit to taste and chill until solid. If your pulp is too thick, reserve some of the juice to add to your recipe.

4. Use vegetable pulp in stock or soups. Many soups are a mix of whatever is left on hand, and throwing your pulp in adds fiber, flavor and texture to your soup. Add pulp to boiling water with onions, carrots, meat trimmings or other stock staples to create your own broths.

5. Use vegetable pulp in your garden. According to the Happy Juicer, mixing pulp in with your planting soil helps increase oxygen, retain moisture and provide nutrients to your plants. Also add pulp to compost to create rich planting soil.
