But then I got smart! My friend, Jeri, had a Finnish steam juicer &#8212; a Mehu Liisa. She bragged that she got four times as much clear juice from the same amount of fruit that I did. That made me lust after one, for sure. Then at one of our seminars, I was gifted with one from the attendees. Needless to say, I was thrilled. And yes, you DO get much more juice from your fruit than by using one of the old ways (squeezing, straining, cooking, etc.). Now I feel like I threw away so much good food in the past by not using one. They are definitely worth the expense and will last a lifetime. &#8212; Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Extracting juice from fruit It is Spring in Minnesota, finally!
