Hints on juice preparation
Observe the freshness rule:
Buy fresh, extract fresh and drink fresh,
to get the most vitamins from your
fruit and vegetables.
Clean the fruit or vegetables for juice
extraction as single pieces. Only just
before juice extraction should you
chop the fruit or vegetables into pieces
small enough to pass conveniently
through the filling shaft.
Fresh juice are by nature not clear like
packaged juices. Pulp and suspended
matter are carriers of vegetable
proteins, minerals, and vitamins as
important constituents of fresh juices.
Stir the juice before drinking!
If the juice is to be stored in the fridge,
please cover it or pour it into a clean
bottle with a top to prevent
contamination with flavours from
other foodstuffs.
Metal containers may affect the
flavour of the juice.
Fruit and vegetables for juicing
Root vegetables and tuberous
vegetables
Carrots, celery, kohlrabi, radishes
Clean and peel, if necessary.
Celeriac is less suitable for juicing than
celery.
Beetroot
Peel thinly. The skin tastes too strong
and if not removed spoils the flavour
of the juice.
Leafy vegetables, cabbages
Curly kale, spinach, lettuce, garden
herbs
Do not feed these vegetables too
quickly into the juice extractor. Feed
everything with soft leaves, e.g.
spinach, into the juice extractor rolled
into a ball.
Cabbage
All of a red or white cabbage can be
juiced. Either cut the heads into
suitably sized pieces or remove the
leaves from the stalk and roll them into
a ball.
Vegetable fruits
e.g. Cucumbers, melons, papaya,
pomegranates
Do not peel or remove skins (except for
melons), cut into suitably sized pieces,
do not remove the centre with the
seeds but extract the juice from the
whole fruit.
e.g. Peppers
Do not juice the inner parts with the
seeds and the stalk.
Rhubarb
Rhubarb is not suitable for juicing!
Pomes
Apples, pears
Always juice with the skin on. The core
also does not have to be removed. Cut
them up, so that they fit comfortably
in the filling bowl.
Quinces
Do
not
use in the juice extractor!
The very hard flesh can cause unusual
load on the motor and may even cause
damage to the appliance.
Stone fruit
Plums, cherries, peaches
Remove stones from the fruit. When
extracting the juice, only press the
plunger down lightly. This increases the
juice yield.
Soft fruit
Redcurrants, blackcurrants and
elderberries
With berries, remove only the thick
stalks. Berries give a somewhat thicker
juice, because they start to become
gelatinous during the juicing process.
(Redcurrants and blackcurrants are not
suitable for juicing because they
become very gelatinous very quickly.)
