DID YOU KNOW?

Pink and red grapefruits are rich in the antioxidant lycopene, the same antioxidant found in tomatoes that’s widely lauded for its anticancer properties, particularly against prostate cancer. (White grapefruit does not contain lycopene.) Other lycopene-containing fruits: apricots, watermelon, papaya, guava, and persimmon. Tropical fruit juice, anyone?

Precious Pear Juice

Pears tend to be neglected in the juicing world. We at Organic Avenue are working to change that by offering pear juice on our menu and showing you how to make your own at home. Once you taste fresh unpasteurized pear juice—rich, thick, and sweet—you won’t believe what you’ve been missing. And you’ll want to make some for your kids: Pears are often recommended for young children because of their hypoallergenic qualities.

Some more reasons to feel good about pear juice: The pectin in pears is a diuretic, and drinking pear juice has a mild laxative effect, keeping you regular. Pears are anti-inflammatory and high in antioxidants, making pear juice a good choice when you feel a cold coming on. Pears truly do pack a punch, as they also contain vitamins A, B1, B2, C, E, folic acid, and niacin as well as copper, phosphorus, and potassium.

Makes about 16 ounces (470 milliliters)

6 medium pears (about 2½ pounds/1.15 kilograms), stemmed and cut into quarters

Run the pears through a juicer. Pour into glasses and serve, over ice if you like, or pour into a container, cover, and keep in the refrigerator until ready to use.
