What to do with the PULP?---- Crackers to Compost...get creative!

A good thing about juicing RAW veggies is the PULP! It still has plenty of nutrients left over! 

What most people would think as garbage...it's the opposite! There are plenty of ways to put it to use. I personally like to add the fresh pulp directly into my garden area, cover it deep with dirt (so Racoons don't dig it up, if you're in the city) and give it a good watering and allow the nutrients to absorb into the roots.

I add some carrot pulp to my turkey burgers :)



If you LOVE Carrot Cake, here's a good lookin'
