Juicing Question
Hello. :) Question: I have a breville juicer, which I'm in love with. However, I'm having a hard time with the leafy greens like spinach, kale, etc. There doesn't seem to be much juice at all. The juicer has 5 speeds, but neither one seems to be right. Does anyone have any tips for maximizing the juice production from leafy greens? Thanks! :)

That's the kind I have(centrifugal). Always with the bad news eh? =P I should have looked into it more before I bought mine. I stumbled upon this place like a year after though. I just started growing wheat grass. I'll have try the 'wrapping around something' trick. Thanks!

Spinach is one of the BEST greenies to blend ( a la Vitamix), low acidity and not real fibrous with a great taste, especially with a bit of Banana.
As for juicing Kale, stick to stalky, cripy, Curly kale and feed it ONE STALK at a Time by hand - leafy end first to a safe distance from rotary piece.
So, you are holding the end thats nearest to the ground when growing. Then push remainder of the stalk with plunger.
I will, for example,take the blended spinach and water (high speed vitamix) and mix low speed with the juiced kale and apple and lemon and ginger etc. Just play with it, the less you make your juicer slow down in RPM's the higher yield juice on anything, that's why the slow feed, one at a time approach.

Soaking might help, I really don't know for sure. My father eats soaked dried chestnuts. The dried ones are really hard and they get a little bit softer when soaking them, but they are'nt as sweet soaked.

Would soaking them help? I've read that nuts in general has alot of anti-nutrients & soaking is always suggested.
Does anyone make raw recipes for their pets? Do you think it's healthy for dogs to not eat meat?
