What Can I Do With the Juice Pulp?
Juicers work by extracting the juice from the pulp. I usually throw away the pulp. The pulp, however, has other uses.
Keoni Galt uses the pulp to feed his chickens. Keoni reports that his chickens lay much better looking and tasting eggs. The yolks are a deep orange and taste delicious, he notes.
If you don’t have chickens, you can make veggie burgers.
Veggie Burgers
- Take pulp from carrots, kale, or other veggies.
- Dice onions and garlic. Saute in some olive oil or butter
- Puree 2 cans of black beats with one bunch of cilantro.
- Mix in a bowl with the pulp and one egg.
- Season, form into patties, and pan fry or bake.
Delicious.

That’s a great idea.
I was using the leftover pulp to make stocks to flavour my cooking with. I’ll use it mainly when creating vegetable stock and chicken stock.
I’d juice the carrots and celery together and separate their pulps and use it as a flavour base along with onion and garlic (soffrito/mirepoix). Not as good as using unjuiced vegetables but still good enough. As a chef I hate wasting food and anything that can be used for something else will be in my house and kitchen.
Ah yes….thanks for the linkage, FJ. My juice ran out two days ago, and I had to work overtime today, so I missed the once a week, farmer’s market in my town. My chickens will sorely miss their weekly rations of juice pulp, and I’ll miss my daily glass of v-12.

Which is the beauty of keeping chickens and/or pigs. NOTHING goes to waste. Watermelon rinds. Avocado peels. Orange peels. Bell pepper cores. Rotten tomatoes. Slimy mushrooms. Moldy leftovers in the fridge. Spoiled meat. Tomato tops Juice pulp. Stale rice. Apple cores. I literally throw no food waste away. I feed me chickens everything BUT chicken.
While I’m no chef, I have turned into an amateur cooking hobbyist. My wife bought me one of those “slap chops” made for TV gadgets. While gracious to her, inside, I groaned. No cook or chef would ever consider replacing the artistry of wielding high end cutlery with deft dexterity in prepping their food.
But I then discovered that food waste the chickens would normally never touch – like rinds, peels and skin….slap chop it into tiny bits, and the chickens will eat every last bit of it up.
I recycle it all into tomorrow’s breakfast eggs.
What a fantastic idea! 🙂 What would be a good vegetarian substitution for the egg?
Try substituting mashed potatoes or yams to bind the pulp.
