TIPS ON JUICING
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 vegetables
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.

mangoes, apricots, plums and cherries
must be pitted before juicing.
