●
Your selection of fruit and vegetables depends on
the time of year, your tastes and recommended diet.
Nutritional values of fruit and vegetable juices depend on
the method of preparation.
●
For perfect flavour and fragrance, juices should be made
with ripe, fresh and juicy fruits and vegetables.
●
The following vegetables are best to juice: tomatoes,
carrots, celeries, beetroots, parsleys, onions, cabbages,
cucumbers, black turnip, rhubarb, etc.
●
Vegetables like radish, chives, green parsley, dill and
cress can be added to juice finely chopped.
●
Almost all kinds of fruit are suitable for juicing.
●
After washing, apples, peaches, apricots and plums
should be blanched in boiling water on a strainer.
●
Make sure to remove stones from the fruit you wish to
juice, as they may damage your appliance.
●
Juicing plums, blueberries, raspberries, soft pears and
apples, or other soft fruit may be problematic, as the
flesh of these fruit turns into a spongy pulp, blocking the
strainer mesh. To process this type of fruit successfully,
it is best to add them in small quantities to other fruit
or vegetables. More frequent cleaning of the strainer is
required.
●
You can extract a small amount of grapes juice, but it
is necessary to put whole bunch to the chute after
removing ligneous stalk.
●
Root vegetables and hard fruit should be cut into pieces
small enough to pass through the feeder tube. Cut the
apples into pieces (if not small enough to enter the
feeder tube) without peeling and coring.
●
Feed the fruit or vegetables into the tube only after
starting the appliance.
●
The nutritional value of freshly extracted juice is
comparable to that of the fruit and vegetables before
processing.
●
Fresh juices are especially recommended for children
and the elderly.
●
As vegetable juice tends to be very thick, it is
recommended to have it with a small amount of water.
If not diluted, a daily portion of vegetable juice should not
be larger than half a glass.
●
It is not recommended to mix fruit and vegetables,
except for vegetable-apple combinations. Melon juice
should not be combined with other juices.
●
Juices should not be stored for later consumption.
●
The following spices can be added to vegetable juices to
improve their flavour: pepper, dill, cumin, nutmeg, thyme
and marjoram. Fruit beverages can be made with added:
vanilla, cinnamon and clove. It is recommended to
crush the spices thoroughly before use to enjoy their full
fragrance. Spices should be used in small quantities to
maintain the natural fragrance and flavour of your juices.
Due to low caloric content, fruit and vegetable juices are
highly recommended for people on a slimming diet.
●
Fruit and vegetable juices are best served at room
temperature or with ice cubes.
Fresh juices for your health
Carrot juice
Carrot juice stimulates the metabolism, as it
is rich in vitamins and minerals necessary to
maintain the proper function of the body.
Obtained from the carotene, Vitamin A benefits
your eyesight, while other components of
the carrot juice reduce harmful effects of nicotine and restore
your skin’s natural and healthy colour. Small children are
recommended to drink half a glass of carrot juice and half
a glass of milk daily whereas elderly people can boost their
energy with a glass of carrot juice mixed with apple juice.
Tomato juice
Ripe and fresh tomatoes give excellent
quality juice which can be mixed with
virtually all other vegetable juices.
Tomato juice is a rich source of vitamin A and C. Two glasses
of tomato juice contain your daily requirements of C vitamin.
Season your juice with salt and pepper according to taste.
Beetroot juice
Beetroot juice and orange juice make
a delicious combination. However, make
sure to consult your doctor before drinking
pure beetroot juice.
Cabbage juice
Cabbage juice is recommended for treatment
of gastric ulcers. Always ask your doctor first
before consumption. Best combined with
carrot juice – makes an excellent choice even
for people with sensitive stomach.
Spinach juice
Spinach juice stimulates production of
red blood cells in the body. It has a very
intensive taste, so it is best combined
with carrot juice. Mix equal volumes of
spinach juice, carrot juice and celery juice
for a tasty drink.
Celery juice
Celery leaves have bitter taste, so remove
them first before processing the root in your
juice extractor. Celery juice is very tasty and
goes well with other vegetable juices.
It should be consumed in smaller quantities
than the carrot juice. Enhance the taste by
adding apple or lemon juice.
Cucumber juice
Due to its natural bland taste, cucumber juice
is best combined with apple, carrot or celery
juice. Cucumber juice is used for skin care
and is known to support kidney filtration
process. It is also recommended for
