Tips
•
Use fresh fruit and vegetables, as they contain more juice. Pineapples, beetroots,
celery stalks, apples, cucumbers, carrots, spinach, melons, tomatoes,
pomegranates, oranges and grapes are particularly suitable for processing in the
juice extractor.
•
You do not have to remove thin peels or skins. Only thick peels, e.g. those of
oranges, pineapples and uncooked beetroots need to be removed. Also remove
the white pith of citrus fruits because it has a bitter taste.
•
When preparing apple juice, remember that the thickness of the apple juice
depends on the kind of apple you are using. The juicier the apple, the thinner the
juice. Choose a kind of apple that produces the type of juice you prefer.
•
Apple juice turns brown very quickly. To slow down this process, add a few drops
of lemon juice. Fruits that contain starch, such as bananas, papayas, avocados,
figs and mangoes are not suitable for processing in the juice extractor. Use a
food processor, blender or bar blender to process these fruits.
•
Leaves and leaf stalks of e.g. lettuce can also be processed in the juice extractor.
•
Drink the juice immediately after you have extracted it. If it is exposed to air for
some time, the juice will lose its taste and nutritional value.
•
To extract the maximum amount of juice, always press the pusher down slowly.
•
The juicer is not suitable for processing very hard and/or fibrous/starchy fruits or
vegetables such as sugar cane.
