This recipe made about 4 cups of juice.
I was surprised at how much of the pears I could taste. I honestly thought the flavors of the kale and celery
would overcome the delicate pear juice…..but boy was I wrong. This was a perfectly blended juice that
stimulated my taste buds and filled me up until lunch time.
Pears are becoming my favorite fruit to juice and as I learn
more about this delicate fruit, I want even more! Here are some cool facts
about pears.
1.
Pears do not contain sodium but do contain
substantial amount of potassium, which can help lower blood pressure.
2.
Other minerals pears contain include: magnesium, iron, copper and manganese.
3.
Good source of fiber which can behave as a laxative.
4.
Pears can alkalize the blood, which is good for
those who eat a lot of meat. Meat is
acidic and your body loves to be in the neutral zone. It operates best while in
“neutral” Alkalizing foods provide balance.
5.
Pears are not as acidic as apples (less organic
acid), but high in tannins which provide anti-inflammatory action. This makes pears a good alternative to apples
for those who can’t handle the acidity.
