TIPS ON JUICING
ThE INSIDE INfORmATION ON JUICING
Although juice drinks are usually developed with flavour, texture and aroma at the forefront,
the health benefits certainly add to the pleasurable taste experience.
95% 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 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 juices, you have complete control
over what you include in them. You select the ingredients and decide if you need to use
sugar, salt or other flavouring agents. Freshly extracted juices should be consumed just after
they have been made to avoid a loss of vitamin content.
