For centuries, the world's greatest civilizations have known
about the importance of fresh juice derived from fruits and vegetables.
They have used juices to retain health, restore vigor, and overcome
illness. Only in the last thirty years, with the advent of refined
commercial juices, has the value of juices declined. Relegated
to the status of soft drinks, the majority of bottled and canned
juices available today offer very little benefit to the consumer.
Now, Stephen Blauer, co-author of The Macrobiotic Way,
has written this informative and lively book telling people
just how important fresh juices can be. The Juicing Book is
the complete guide to using juices to maximize your health
and vitality. The author offers up to date information on the
value of juices in relationship to your body's needs; explains
the differences between commercially grown crops and organically
grown produce; and provides easy-to-follow techniques for ridding
fruits and vegetables of herbicides and pesticides. Also included
are delicious recipes, comprehensive charts, and detailed instructions
on using various juicing equipment.
The Juicing Book shows you just how you can get the
most nutritional value from apples to zucchini-and practically
everything in-between.
