VEGETABLE AND BACON SOUP
Serves 4
The remaining pulp left after juicing
fruit or vegetables is mostly fiber and
cellulose which, like the juice, contains
vital nutrients necessary for the daily
diet. However, like the juice, pulp
should be used that day to avoid loss of
vitamins. Some of the uses of pulp are
to thicken casseroles or soups or in the
case of fruit, simply placed in a bowl
topped with meringue and baked for
a simple dessert. Quite apart from the
consumption use, pulp is great used in
the garden for compost.
