PUMPKIN JUICE

Traditionally Used For:

Bladder Problems

Kidneys

A Good Source Of:

Potassium	Sodium	Vitamin A
Vitamin C

Freshness Test:

You can easily grow Pumpkins yourself and then pick them straight from the vine. Alternatively, you can go to a Pumpkin farm and pick them straight from the vine, usually from about September to the end of October.

If buying from a store, look for Pumpkins with good color to them.

Important:

Nothing to report.

General:

As you won't be able to juice all of the Pumpkin (they are simply too big), you can freeze the rest or cook with the remaining amount.

I personally have never juiced a Pumpkin simply because of its size. However, I have added Pumpkin to the list because it is a squash. Like all squashes, Pumpkins are very nutritious and Pumpkins are also naturally sweet.

Pumpkins are very rich in nutrients and will add flavor to a juice.
