I'm also very skeptical that raw chopped vegetables can be hand squeezed in to juice. Given that the packets can be squeezed by had in to juice, that leads me to believe that the vegetables are not as unprocessed as Juicero would like me to believe.

Lemme try this - I'll chop up a bunch of spinach, kale, and carrots, place them in a reinforced bag, and squeeze them by hand. Yeah - that's not gonna give me juice...

I was wondering about that as well and found an article [1] that has pictures of an opened packet as well as after juicing [2]. To me it looks like the produce is chopped very fine, maybe a little like produce that has gone through a blender for a few seconds.

Yeah my guess is that depending on the ingredients, the consistency of the bag contents will range from finely chopped produce to a pulpy slurry.
