Date: May 14, 2009 11:04PM Hi, I'm brand new to juicing (about 2 weeks now) so I've been doing a lot of experimenting. My question is about using mangos....is it really necessary to peel them? All the recipes/comments I've looked at say to peel them, but the skin is thin and not bitter. I only use organic produce. Any reason that I shouldn't just leave it on? I have an Omega 8003 juicer.
Thanks! Laurie Re: juicing mangos

Date: May 15, 2009 12:00AM I went to a raw food seminar David Wolfe put on several years back, and saw him eating a mango-- skin and all-- literally 'Wolfe'ing it down during the intermission. He didn't keeo over during the second half of the presentation, so I'm guessing you're right. Sharrhan:

Date: May 15, 2009 12:59AM Alot of people have sensitive reactions to the skin/sap/sap on the skin because of mango's relation to poison sumac. Also, even organic mangos could be waxed, so I wouldn't try to eat or juice it. Re: juicing mangos

Date: May 15, 2009 01:41AM Thanks for the responses! I had no idea mangos are related to poison sumac. My mangos don't appear to be waxed but I suppose it better to just play it safe and spend the extra minute removing the skin.

Date: May 15, 2009 03:16AM for me, mangos are such a fabulous, delicious fruit, that i want to make sure i get all of it. that's why i don't juice them. i don't want any part of it ending up in the "waste" basket of the juicer. i don't eat the peel, but get every last morsel from the skin and pit.
