Juicing is based on the principle of extracting and concentrating the nutrients naturally contained in fresh fruits and raw veggies. Most people who devote a lot of time to juicing use a device called a juice extractor, which breaks down the cell structure of fruits and veggies, then separates the juice from the skin, seeds and the fleshy material commonly known as pulp.

In addition, the fiber content of fruits and vegetables can:
