Juicing Forum

From what I've read, everyone recommends to use all organic produce while juicing, since you want to absorb as many nutrients as possible and not harmful chemicals. Nonetheless, the immediate cost of organic produce is almost double from the "conventionally" grown produce. Is everyone here using all organic? What would be the to-go-organic musts?

I usually buy from the local farmers market when I can. Look around in your town and see where the local farmers gather to sell their produce to the public. You can get some very good deals. One of the local groups even sells 60 pounds of produce for $10.

Even if you can't get a hold of organic, conventional produce will work. Organic tends to yield more juice in some cases and will often give a better taste. But if you soak them like Claire said or clean them really good, the conventional produce will work out just fine.

I've used both, depends on time of the year and what I need to get. I find that conventional is okay for the price if you don't want to shell out the extra cash for organic, and you clean it well.

Organic can be expensive. I usually get it when it's on sale but sometimes I get conventional. Just make sure you get them clean and they will be fine. If you don't want to soak them, just make sure you take a brush and scrub them really good.

Good way to do it Irene. If organic isn't an option or you have a lack of organic produce feel free to get conventional. As with all produce, even organic, just make sure you guys are cleaning it really good.
