Juicer Recipes

Like apples, pears have a naturally simple sweet taste.  Therefore, it can be added into many juicer recipes.  Pear juice is quite thick compared to other juice, and can be a turn off for some people.  It is often used in conjunction with other juicier fruits.  Personally, I use pears occasionally to mix things up, but I prefer apple juice for my easy juicer recipes because I like its more watery consistency, and it is healthier than pear juice.

Pears have small amounts of vitamin C and copper, which boost the immune system to help fight free radicals in the body.  What makes the pear unique is that it contains the fewest allergens out of all fruits, meaning its one of the best fruits to stick with in your juicer recipes if there are concerns about fruit allergies.  Overall, pears have a decent variety of phytonutrients, though there are other fruits out there that pack in more nutritional content.   When buying pears, it is recommended that you buy organic, as they usually contain chemicals from being exposed frequently to pesticides.

Pears are a great source of fiber which studies have linked to a reduced risk of colon cancer.  Unfortunately, by juicing pears you will miss out on this fiber (unless you eat the pulp afterwards.)  Because of this, pears are a fruit better eaten whole than to be added to your easy juicer recipes, though this isn’t meant to detract you from juicing pears at all.

Pears have a gritty, even buttery texture which can make it problematic for juicing.  If overripe and soft, they will be a real pain for your juicer and essentially unjuicable.  You want to juice them when they are ever so soft, indicating that they are just ripe.
