A TO Z
21
Pineapple
Choose one that is heavy and
fragrant. A pineapple is ripe if you
can easily pull off a leaf from the base
of the tuft. Remove the leaves
and the thick skin, then cut into
pieces.
Benefits :
contains bromeline,
an enzyme known to aid
digestion.
Plum
Choose plump, well-coloured fruit. Its
flesh should yield slightly to the touch.
Wash, cut into half and
remove the
stone.
Benefits :
an effective stimulant and
detoxifier.
Radish
Choose hard, red radishes
with fresh green leaves. Cut off the
leafy tops and wash the radishes
before processing them in the juice
extractor. The resulting peppery juice
can be used to “pep up” cocktails.
Benefits :
a depurative and a good
source of minerals, it is a well-known
liver drainer. WARNING : as it has
such a powerful effect, radish juice
should only be consumed in small
quantities and never on its own.
Raspberry
Make sure the fruit is ripe and
unblemished. If you pick the
raspberries yourself, they should
come away easily from the stalk.
Avoid washing them, as this will
reduce their flavour.
Benefits :
an excellent all-round
tonic.
Red and blackcurrants
Choose firm berries with shiny skins.
In order to enjoy them all year
round, you can freeze them: strip
them off their stalks, wash and dry
them, then place them in a suitable
freezer container. If you are using
fresh berries, strip them off their
stalks before processing them using
the coulis maker attachment. As red
and blackcurrants are the fruits with
virtually the lowest sugar content,
you can make their juice less acidic
by adding a little cane syrup.
