Hints on juice preparation
●
Buy the freshest fruits and vegetables available.
●
Fruits and vegetables contain valuable vitamins
and minerals which deteriorate when they come
into contact with oxygen or light. Drink juice soon
after it has been extracted.
●
If it is necessary to store juice for a few hours,
place it in the refrigerator using china or glass
container. Adding the juice of a lemon will help to
preserve it.
●
You can use the pulp for other dishes (jams,
compotes, etc.).
●
When fruits are very juicy (melons, watermelons,
etc.), insert them slowly to get the most juice out of
the fruit.
●
When extracting juice from very ripe fruits, the
resulting liquid can be quite thick. In such cases, it
is necessary to process more slowly so that the
juice can run off more easily and to avoid
blockages.
Preparing fruits or vegetables
●
Wash or peel the fruit of vegetables you want to
process.
●
Process seed fruit (such as apples, pears) with
peels and cores.
●
Fruits and vegetables with thick peels (e.g, citrus
fruits, melons, kiwis) must be peeled first.
●
Grapes should be processed only after separation
from the bunch.
●
For leafy vegetables (e.g, cabbage, spinach and
herbs) roll the leaves together tightly.
●
Cut fruits and vegetables into pieces that will fit
into the filling shaft.
●
Do not use very stringy fruits and vegetables (e.g,
rhubarb) in your juicer.
