Juice yields "per pound" - Re: Juicing help

I've never been able to find a "this much produce yields this much juice" list...but there are random reports around (and some on this forum).

Here's some I've found (and am finding as I type - most are from "The juicing Book" I just found on Google :) --

1 pound of cucumbers = 8oz juice
2 1/2 pounds of carrots = 2 3/4 cups juice
2 tangelos = 1 cup juice
5 pounds of carrots = 16-32oz juice
1 pound of apples - 6-8oz juice
1 pound of fenugreek sprouts = 4oz juice
1 "bunch" of turnip/beet greens = 4-6oz juice
1 pound of turnips = 4-6oz juice
1 pound of lambs quarters = 4-6oz juice
1 pound of wheatgrass = 6-8oz juice (fluctuates widely, depending on juicer)
1 pound of radishes or radish sprouts = 2-4oz juice
1 pound fennel = 6-8oz juice
1 pound of lemons = 4-6 ounces (??? you'll always yield MUCH more juice with citrus if it's room temp or warmer, and if you 'roll' it before juicing)
1 pound of tomatoes = 8-10oz juice
1 pound of scallions = 2-3oz juice
1 pound of string beans = 4-6oz juice
1 pound of summer squash = 4-6oz juice
1 pound of buckwheat greens = 6oz juice
1 pound of bean sprouts (unknown type) = 3-4oz juice
1 pound of grapefruit = 6-8 oz juice
1 pound of endive = 4-6oz juice
1 pound of oranges = 6-8oz juice
1 pound of peaches = 1-3oz juice (I yield more)
1 pound of pears = 4-6oz juice
1 pound of papaya = 1-3oz juice (I'm pretty sure I yield
more)
1 pound of artichokes = 6-8oz juice
1 pound of grapes = 8oz juice
1 pound of Watermelon = 6-8oz
1 pound of limes = 4-6oz
1 pound of pitted cherries = 6-8oz
1 pound of pineapple = 4-6oz juice (my Omega hates juicing pineapple - semi-freezing it helps; remember to juice the skins too..the highest amount of bromelain is between the 'fruit' and the skin -- and you really don't taste the difference. More juice AND more healing benefits!)
1 pound of cranberries = 4-6oz juice
1 pound of cabbage/cabbage sprouts = 6oz juice
1 pound of parsnips = 4-6oz juice
1 pound of beets = 6-8oz juice
1 pound of strawberries = 4-5oz juice
1 pound of sunflower greens - 4-6oz juice
1 pound of sweet peppers - 4-6oz juice


Remember - the riper the produce, the 'juicier' it is...and with all "greens", many times soaking them in water (when they're limp and/or dry) can "plump them up" to yield more juice



This from a previous post by healinginHiswings - it's as good as guideline as any I've seen:

>>> Yes. You'll be drinking the juice from 5 pounds of carrots, at least 2 pounds of leafy greens and two pounds of beets, maybe three pounds of apples, two pounds of citrus, plus whatever seasonal juicy fruit or berries you want to add to your Supersmoothies every single day.<<<
I'm not saying that will yield a gallon, but it's definitely a good "mix"!

The goal is one gallon of juice daily - consider that your "food" for the day - Superfood, Potassium/mineral broth, herbal teas, etc., are all 'extras' (although if you want to count the juice you add to the Superfood, it's not going to make that much of a difference).

Honestly, 1 gallon IS a "high bar" - that's 8 pint jars, and I typically 'max out' at 7 pints (sometimes 6). Since I drink WELL over a gallon of water daily (on top of whatever teas or broths I'm doing when juice-fasting), it just seems there's no more room. But if I were battling a serious illness, I'd MAKE room for the juice. Don't beat yourself up if you don't 'meet the bar' everyday, just continue to striving and doing your best.

You'll find lots more information in this thread/post: //www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1684425


Can you get "too much" of any one type of juice? That's actually very subjective, methinks. Gerson's typical juice is a couple of carrots, an apple and lots of 'dark green leafies/other'. But Christopher's IP was one week on nothing but carrots, the next week only apples and another week on only grapes. Schulze was basically 'all over the place' depending upon what he thought folks needed (lots of carrot, beet, parsley is typically mentioned).

Mix it up, have FUN, try anything that sounds good (and even those that don't) - it's truly a feast, not a fast!

JUICE ON!!!
