Juicing Trivia - Yields

Tried this combo this morning: pomegranate, beet and apple. All red, sort of.

This is the first time I consume pomegranate (bought at 45c per 100g from NTUC). I halved it and scooped out all the, err, bits. They're like little sacs with a seed inside. I tried a few. Some I could crush the seed with my teeth, some I couldn't. That's why I decided to use Squeaky to juice instead of Samson. Not sure if Samson would like the pips.

Yields from Squeaky:

• 430g pomegranate (before removing the sacs) - 150ml
• 1 fuji apple - 150ml
• 248g beetroot (before peeling) - 100ml

I believe the yield from Samson would be higher 'cos the beetroot pulp from Samson is much drier than that from Squeaky. The pulp from the pomegranate was very, very dry.

The juice tasted sweet yet slightly sour which was a nice combo. I didn't dilute 'cos it was so nice I drank it without waiting. Might add some water the next time round to lower this sugar fix or use it to make vege juice more palatable.

ps: bought beet at $2.10/kg at Toa Payoh NTUC, the lowest price I've ever paid.
