Orange Juice

[Guest guest]

Hi everybody,

I remember just before I left Tampa to come back to Seattle, I discovered

sixty orange trees in a relatives backyard. I knew then that I had died and

gone to heaven. Judging from the color and insects, I knew that they were

organic, but sooo juicy and sweet. Because I was coming back in a coupla days I

decided to take some and juice them cos I was unsure if they would let me

take'em on the plane. Like I said, these were the juiciest, sweetest oranges

that I could remember. While juicing them I was shocked at how little juice was

in them, especially in relationship to how much pulp. I had hand juiced them

the old fashioned way which gave me an inordinate amount of pulp, which I had to

negotiate while consuming them. I left that experience realizing that the only

way to really consume fruit is not through commercial juice but by consuming the

whole thing.

PS You " ll never had a orange till you've had one of those wild Florida

oranges.

Different varieties of fruit are suited to different uses. I

encountered ornamental grapefruit trees in Arizona whose fruit was

nearly inedible. I do agree that eating whole fruits is best, or at

least using the pulp from juicing in another way.
