Emerald Green Juice
on: April 14, 2013, 01:01

This is one of my favorite green juice recipes. It has a lot of flavor and with its deep green color it is like drinking liquid emeralds.

4-6 Leaves Dino Kale (love that dark green kale!)
4-6 Leaves Romaine Lettuce
4 Large Stalks Celery
1 Medium Cucumber
1 Granny Smith Apple
6-8 sprigs Oregano
1 Lemon (I like mine peeled, but you don't have to)
2 Cloves Garlic

That does look tasteful! With a whole lemon, is the juice very tangy?

Hi,

Yes, it is pretty tangy, but I find that a whole smaller lemon suits my taste well. It's always safe to start with less though.

When I first started I was using very large lemons. It wasn't until I switched to the smaller lemons that I realized how much extra lemon I was putting in my juices. I love lemon and lime in juices and especially pomegranate. Have you tried pomegranate seeds yet?

No, I haven't. I'm curious, how do you prepare pomegranates for juicing?

I usually purchase pomegranate seeds from the local whole foods store up the street. This way they are already prepared and I just have to juice the seeds. The pomegranate seeds add a very nice flavor to the juice. It's not super tangy or overpowering. It adds a smooth delicious fruity flavor that you can definitely make out.

Hi, I've noticed that a lot of the recipes call for pomegranate seeds. What about the pomegranate fruit itself?

MW, the seeds are the fruit. Let me show you a picture to help you understand. It's not a fruit like an apple or a lemon where you have the fruit and then a few seeds. Pomegranates are just big fruits full of seeds. Each seed is encased by it's own capsule. Each capsule consists of fruit with a seed in the middle. Pomegranates can have hundreds of these capsules, each with it's own seed. So when you get the seeds, you also get the fruit.

I don't have access to pomegranate seeds. However, I can get pomegranate. I've never purchased one nor have I ever tasted one, that I know of! :) If I get one to use in the recipes, is there anything special to using them? Would you simply scoop out some seeds and use it? Or do they need to be prepared in some special way?

Thanks... love the learning!

Becky, you can just scoop out the seeds. That will work just as well. The seeds are encased with the fruit. Just rinse them off and juice away!
