Helpful Hints for Slow Juicing
Preparing Fruit and Vegetables
Wash all fruit and vegetables well before
juicing. There is no need to peel vegetables
that have a thin skin but a light scrub will
help rid any dirt that may be stuck on or any
waxy coatings.
Peel fruit and vegetables that have a thick
skin such as melons, pineapple and some
citrus fruits.
Nutrition Tip: Leave the skin on lemons and
limes when juicing for increased flavour and
nutritional value.
Juice only the freshest of fruit and vegetables
to get the most juice from them and the best
flavours.
Nutrition Tip: Chop and prepare fruit and
vegetables just before juicing to retain more
nutrients.
Cut large pieces of fruit, such as melon and
apples into large long wedges.
Some seeds from citrus fruits can be bitter
so you may want to remove some of the seeds
for a less bitter juice.
Remove seeds and stones from fruit such
as mangoes, papaya and stone fruit. This
will prevent the slow juicer from becoming
damaged.
Juicing techniques
When juicing different fruit and vegetables,
the order in which they are juiced can affect
juice yield. For maximum juice extraction
juice the softer fruit or vegetables first
followed by the harder fruit or vegetables.
When juicing leafy greens such as kale or
fresh herbs, add between other fruit and
vegetables for maximum yield. If only using
a small quantity, add at the same time as
another piece of fruit or vegetable.
Leafy greens and fibrous vegetables such
as celery and rhubarb should be chopped
When juicing bananas, add as the first or
second ingredient. The nectar of the banana
will remain inside the filter basket and as
the remaining fruit is added into the slow
juicer, they will release the banana nectar
throughout the rest of the juice.
When juicing small fruit such as grapes or
strawberries, add the fruit in handfuls rather
than one at a time, this will maximise the
amount of juice extracted.
Be aware that beetroot stains all other fruit
and vegetables. If juicing several different
juice combinations, juice the drink with the
beetroot last, so as not to stain the other
drinks.

Important:
For best juicing results, feed fruit
and vegetables slowly into the food chute to
allow maximum juice extraction and performance.
into 3cm pieces before juicing.
Hard vegetables such as carrots should be
chopped into thin strips for best results.
