Do I need to peel citrus for juicing?
We recommend peeling the skin
from mandarins, oranges and
grapefruit prior to juicing as the skin
has a bitter taste and this will transfer
through to the juice. The skin of
lemons and limes do not have this
bitter flavour and as such can be
juiced. Leave about one third of the
skin of lemons and limes on.
What can I juice with a BioChef
juicer and what should I avoid?
The BioChef juicer can juice
just about all types of fruits and
vegetables.
This is a cold press juicer and
therefore does not have a cutting
unit, so do not place any of the
following in the juicer as it may cause
damage:
• hard coconut fibre – soft, young
flesh is ok
• seeds (except sesame, or other
softer seeds)
• unsoaked/roasted nuts (except
peanuts and other softer nuts)
• legumes
• sugar cane
• frozen ingredients - for sorbet
remove fruit from freezer 5-10
minutes before using.
• fish or meat
• liquorice root or other woody
materials
• dried herbs and spices
• stone fruit with stones in
• olives
Can I make soy, nut and rice milk?
Yes you can easily make nut milk
using your juicer, simply refer to the
Recipes section for instructions.
Can I grind seeds, grains or legumes
with the BioChef juicer?
The BioChef juicer can make a paste
from seeds and grains, however is
not a grinder and using this machine
as such will void the warranty.
Can the BioChef juicer make cold
press olive oil?
No. This is a different process
to juicing and requires different
machinery.
Can I make frozen sorbets?
Yes you can easily make frozen fruit
sorbets using your juicer. Refer to the
recipes section for instructions.
Can I re-juice the discarded pulp in
order to get more juice?
The BioChef juicer is very effective
at extracting high yields but some
users may put through the discarded
pulp again to try and gain more
juice yield. The results vary from
different ingredients so feel free to
experiment. Try mixing the pulp with
blended fruits to make fruit roll ups.
We recommend a BioChef food
dehydrator for this.
