What do the contents of a juice pack look like prior to juicing? As far as I know, it's not possible to manually extract meaningful amounts of juice from leafy greens or root vegetables (e.g., spinach, romaine, kale, beets, ginger) so the ingredients must be processed before going into the packs.

Quote from another article (with some pics):

Juicero workers receive truckloads of produce from nearby organic farms, triple-wash it, then chop it into specific shapes. A specialized machine then fills each pack, ready to be shipped. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/03/business/juicero-juice-sy...

Yeah, I'm surprised they didn't cut one open to exam the contents. That being said, I think a rolling pin would probably work on leafy greens.
