Sandy, Juice from organic apples which you have juiced yourself should be legal. There are a couple of caveats to this, however. Apple skins contain a LOT of pectin, which can be a problem for us SCDers. That's why all fruits and vegetables are peeled at the beginning of the diet, because of of the skins, to a greater or lesser degree, can cause a problem. So the legality of the juice can depend on the kind of juicer. If you're using a Vitamix, which spins the pulp and skin into the " whole food juice " , then no, juice from unpeeled apples would not be legal. If you're using something like an Omega 8002 juicer, which separates the pulp from the juice, probably. I say " probably " because for some people, processing the skin with the apple can allow enough bacteria-food into the juice to cause a problem. For most people, it will not be. Now that you have more information and caveats than you really wanted, instead of a simple " Yes " or " No....

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Thanks Marilyn. I have a Champion. I think it works on the same basis as the Omega. We have been SCD now for over 2 yrs and I have never tried not peeling the apples but do use carrot(organic) that are not peeled with no problem. I ended up with a bunch of apples that no one likes and they are small. I had thought about peeling and making an apple bake but then the kids again were lamenting about liking apple juice and wishing there was one that we could buy. Got to thinking that maybe these little buggers would work. Think I will give it a try. I am praying for you Marilyn and believing Gods best for you.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Sandy I still peel my apples before juicing because that's the only way my body will tolerate it. And I also still dilute by about 500%. And strain the juice twice to remove fiber and pulp. But that's me [grin]. I assume there's still enough pectin after juicing to aggravate my digestion, even after 4 years on SCD. I also hae to peel peaches and nectarines before juicing or making sauces too. All you can do is try juicing the apples unpeeled, and then you'll know how your own bodies tolerate it. Kim M. SCD 4+ years > > Is juice from apples juice at home but not pealed SCD legal?
