Q: For Christmas, my boyfriend and I received an awesome Breville Juice Fountain. We have been going juicing crazy with this thing! But the downside of all this juicing is the ridiculous amount of pulp that remains. I hate to just toss the pulp out and would love some suggestions on how to make use of it. Thanks!

Editor: Shannon, that's a great question. We had a big discussion about juicing vegetables last week, and this very question came up. Some suggested mixing it into pancakes. We've also seen suggestions for adding juicing pulp to quick breads, muffins, and sauces. This cook at Thrifty Fun suggests making crackers with it!
If you can't think of ways to use it in the kitchen, you can definitely compost it. It would make wonderful compost, along with your other kitchen scraps.
Readers, how else do you use juicing pulp? Do you have specific instructions for using it in any recipes or foods?

1. Sounds like an excellent ingredient to be added especially when using a slow cooker
2. Sauces (for poultry, meats, fish, etc.)
3. Salad dressings/vinegarettes
4. Salsa
5. Mix with honey to make a spread
5. You should also consider making candles.....buy beeswax and when melting, throw in a little pulp to add the citrus scent.
6. Homemade soaps

I add the pulp to quick breads, pancakes, sauces, anything that i could add veggie or fruit to. the pulp is where the best fiber is.

just look at all that fiber! no wonder you don't want to waste it. would it be weird to mix it with some berries or apple pieces and make a pie? or throw it in a vegetable soup?

second on adding to a slow-cooker, or using as part of an overnight marinade for chicken wings. mmmmm. (and if it's veggie pulp i'd save it for when you make stock- just freeze it in ziplocks until you're ready!)
@pedalpowered- the pie idea sounds interesting, might be worth a shot for sure :)
