Harvesting Autumn Best

Harvesting Autumn Best

Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent

It is the time of the year when a lot of people are harvesting the fruits and vegetables from their gardens or trees.

Sometimes, an anonymous person allows people to pick certain fruits from their trees. This was what happened when a generous lady in Vegreville allowed Antoinette Fortier to pick a large pail of paradise apples from her tree. There were so many apples that Antoinette had to store some of the apples in the fridge. Some of them she donated to her friends.

Antoinette decided later on to make some juice out of the apples which she discovered is a perfect way to use them up when you don’t have the storage space to keep them.

Research from Mayo Clinic indicated that juicing extracts the juice from fresh fruits or vegetables and the liquid from these have most of the vitamins, minerals, and plant chemicals. They added that some people believe drinking juice is healthier than eating the whole fruits as your body can observe the nutrients better and it gives your digestive tract a rest from digesting fiber. However, there is no scientific evidence to prove this while they added that whole fruits and vegetables are still healthier to eat as they have healthy fiber which is lost during juicing.
