Juicing, Act 1, Scene 1
Picture a post-modern Eve in her kitchen before the fall. With her fire escape door left ajar, wind hits her skin through the green curtains. It could be a jungle. It could be Eden. She's unclothed, so not to cover her work clothes in the stains of beets and collard. She chops fresh kale, blends wheatgrass and adds some ginger. She squeezes the pulp into a glass bowl. Hands holding the "nut mylk bag", she imagines she's milking a cow. Here collard and kale are the holy cows of India; instead of milking divine sustenance from the goddess Gomukha, she's milking that of the earth.
This morning her divine earth milk is peppered with cayenne.
This is what is in today's juicing mix:
Collard: Source of iron, chlorophyll and calcium. Carrot: Source of beta-carotene, potassium, trace minerals, and antioxidants. Carrots protect you from cancer, alkalize the blood and soothe your nervous system. Good for your skin too!Ginger: An anti-inflammatory, it protects your tummy from irritation; also, it relieves migraines and motion sickness.Orange Bell Pepper: Excellent for the skin and swelling of the joints. Cilantro:cleanses the blood and the body, ridding you of mercury, lead and aluminum. Celery: High in magnesium, chlorophyll and iron. Celery helps curb cravings for sweets and cools the body in hot weather. The ancient Greeks used it for headaches.
