Fruits: To Juice it or to Cut it? Fruit juice can have great taste, high nutrient, and a great low calorie. However, they don’t usually contain all the nutrients of the whole fruit in equal proportion. When the juice is extracted from the pulp, you’ll get all the carbohydrates, useful plant chemicals (phytochemicals), minerals, and vitamins in the extracted juice but all or most of the fibre is lost, depending on the type of fruit. Fibre is an important nutrient in the body since it aids the digestive process and hastens the passage of waste through your digestive system. It is equally known to serve as protection against certain types of cancers. Fibre is not found in the juice because they are only found in the outer membranes (the peels, skin, and seeds) of the fruit. These parts are usually taken out during the process of juice making.
