THE RIGHT TECHNIQUE
•
When juicing a variety of ingredients with
varying textures, start with the softer texture
ingredients on low speed and then gradually
change to high speed for the harder textured
ingredients.
•
If you are juicing herbs, sprouts or other leafy
green vegetables, either wrap them together
to form a bundle or juice them in the middle
of a combination of ingredients on low speed
to obtain the best extraction.
NOTE
If juicing herbs or leafy green vegetables
on their own, the juice yield will be
low due to the nature of centrifugal
juicing. It is advised to juice them
with a combination of other fruit and
vegetables.
All fruit and vegetables produce different
amounts of liquids. This varies within the same
group i.e. one batch of tomatoes can produce
more juice than another batch. Since juice
recipes are not exact, the precise quantities
of any juice are not crucial to the success of a
particular mixture. To extract the maximum
amount of juice always push the food pusher
down slowly.
GETTING THE RIGHT BLEND
It is easy to create great tasting juice. If you
have been making your own vegetable or
fruit juices, then you know how simple it is
to invent new combinations. Taste, colour,
texture and ingredient preferences are a
personal choice. Think of some flavours
and foods – would they work well together
or would they clash. Some strong flavours
could over power the more subtle flavours of
others. It is however, a good rule to combine
starchy, pulpy fruit and vegetables with
those high in moisture.
USING THE PULP
The remaining pulp left after juicing
fruit and vegetables is mostly fibre and
cellulose which, like the nutrients in juice,
are necessary for the daily diet and can be
used in many ways. However, like the juice,
pulp should be used that day to avoid loss
of vitamins. There are a number of recipes
contained in this book for the use of pulp.
Apart from these, pulp can be used to add
bulk to rissole mixtures, thicken casseroles
or soups, or with fruit pulp, simply place in a
heat-proof bowl, top with meringue and bake
in the oven for a simple dessert.
Apart from consumption use, pulp is great
to create compost for the garden.
NOTE
When using the pulp, there may be some
pieces of fruit or vegetables remaining.
These should be removed before using
the pulp in any recipes.
