    No, juicing filters out the insoluble plant bits (a major source of fibre) leaving all the water- and fat-soluble chemicals.

    For example, the colour of the juice comes mainly from fat soluble beta-carotenes for the yellows and anthocyanins for the reds and blues. Just as the colours are left in the juice, so are the flavour molecules. Also thousands of other chemicals: proteins, enzymes, sugars, starches, water and even medically active things like caffeine (eg in tea) etc etc.

    Just to add: there are water soluble indigestible chemicals too - these are collectively called soluble fibre.

      1. Definition of a plant-based diet - A plant-based diet consists of all minimally processed fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds, herbs, and spices and excludes all animal products, including red meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and dairy products.

      If a plant is processed more than harvesting, cutting, packaging it no longer meets the definition of plant based.

      According to these definitions of processed vs ultra-processed, you’re describing ultra-processed foods not plant based.
