THE INSIDE INFORMATION
ON JUICING
Although the juice drinks contained in this
booklet were developed with flavour, texture
and aroma at the forefront, the health
benefits certainly add to the pleasurable
taste experience.
Up to 70% of the nutrient content of fruit
and vegetables is found in the juice. Liquids
extracted from fresh fruit and vegetables
form an important part of a well-balanced
healthy diet. Fresh fruit and vegetable juices
are an easy source of vitamins and minerals.
Juices are rapidly absorbed into the blood
stream therefore being the quickest way in
which the body can digest nutrients.
When you make your own fruit and
vegetable juices, you have complete control
over what is included. Select the ingredients
and decide if you need to add sugar, salt
or other flavouring agents after juicing.
Freshly extracted juices should be consumed
immediately after they have been processed
to avoid a loss of vitamin content.
PURCHASING AND STORAGE OF
FRUIT AND VEGETABLES
•
Always wash fruit and vegetables
before juicing.
•
Always use fresh fruit and vegetables
for juicing.
•
To save money and obtain fresher produce,
purchase fruit or vegetables that are in season.
Refer to the Fruit and Vegetable Facts chart.
•
Keep your fruit and vegetables ready
for juicing by washing and drying them
before storing.
•
Most fruits and hardier type vegetables
can be stored at room temperature. The
more delicate and perishable items such
as tomatoes, berries, leafy greens, celery,
cucumbers and herbs should be stored in the
refrigerator until required.
PREPARATION OF FRUIT
AND VEGETABLES
•
If using fruits with hard or inedible skins such
as mangoes, guava, melons or pineapple,
always peel before juicing.
•
Some vegetables, such as cucumbers can
be processed unpeeled depending on
the softness of the skin and the juicing
requirements.
•
All fruits with large piths, hard seeds or
stones such as nectarines, peaches, mangoes,
apricots, plums and cherries must be pitted
before juicing.
•
Ensure vegetables such as beetroot, carrots,
etc. have all soil removed, are well washed
and trimmed of leaves before juicing.
•
Ensure fruits such as strawberries are
hulled before juicing and pears have their
stalks removed.
•
Citrus fruit can be juiced in the juicer
but remove the skin and excess pith
before juicing.
•
A small amount of lemon juice can be added
to apple juice to reduce discolouration.
NOTE
Your juicer makes invigorating, frothy
orange juice. Simply peel the oranges and
remove any excess pith before juicing. It is
best to refrigerate oranges before juicing.
