So, what do I juice? How do I know how much to use? Whatmixes well with what? These are the questions I am asked on adaily basis. The answer again is simple - try everything! I say,“Different strokes for different folks!” There is truth that manycitrus fruits do not mix well (meaning, lemons and oranges andgrapefruits) and the flavors tend to try to compete with eachother. Using a citrus fruit with some berries, carrots or an applewill produce more subtle blends. Apples blend well with almostanything and they have a very low glycemic load so they willnot explode the sugar content of your finished product like melonsand pineapples can. Apples can be dropped in the juicer oremulsifier, with skin intact with no worries; however, theyshould be cored to remove seeds as they contain arsenic, a poisonoussubstance. Pits should also be removed from cherriesand other fruits. The rinds of citrus fruits should be removedbefore adding in either machine.FARM MARKETOPEN ALL YEAR!Wed. 4pm-6pm.Sat 9am-2pm.Other days by appt.620 Quarry Road • Harleysville, PA 19438215-513-15142013 Organic CSAShares AvailableUnbeatable Variety ofHeirloom Produce &Herbs, and HeritageBreed Proteins!w w w . q u a r r y h i l l f a r m . n e tReverse Diabetes?According to new research, type 2 diabetes can bereversed using a natural treatment approach.

I know, I know, it is SO EXPENSIVE to buy organic.Here is a little trick: don’t put as many processed foods andsweets in the shopping cart and put that money towards theorganic produce. If you are not sure if your produce is organic,look at the sticker on it. If the number begins with a nine it isorganic. If there is a number four, it is conventionally grownusing pesticides and insecticides. And if it begins with an eight,it is a GMO (genetically modified organism). Apples, strawberries,peaches, grapes, and other fruits that you will be consumingthe skin of, should always be organic since that is where thechemicals build up. All vegetables should be organic as thewhole plant is usually sprayed. This is your chance to supportthe local organic farmer, become part of a CSA (communitysupported agriculture) or go pick-your-own.Juicers and emulsifiers can cost anywhere from one hundred toone thousand dollars. Take careful time to select only whatoptions you really need. It will not take long for you to becomea juicing aficionado. Most people feel a noticeable difference inenergy and mental alertness on the first day and it only gets betterfrom there. My advice is to take notes, write down the combinationsthat you liked the most. This practice will help youmake grocery store lists and limit guesswork, but never stopexperimenting. Try to keep a ratio of about half of your glassbeing greens like kale, collards, spinach and broccoli whileusing carrots and apples as mild sweeteners. Then start experimentingwith squash, sweet potatoes, cucumber, beets, cauliflowerand more.Happy juicing! I hope it brings you all the energy, mental focusand health benefits it has brought me.
