1.
Select fresh fruits and vegetables, which contain more juice. The proper
fruits include: pineapple, beet root, celery stalk, apple, cucumber, spinach,
melons, tomato, orange and grape.
2.
Thick skin on fruits such as orange, pineapple and raw beet root instead
of thin skin on fruit/vegetable needs to be removed. Seeds in oranges
should be removed as well, which may make the juice taste a little bitter.

Concentration of juice extracted from apple depends on what type of
apple is selected. Juice extracted from juicier apple is less thick, so select
the proper type of apple depending on your desired juice concentration.

Just extracted apple juice will turn brown very soon, and this process can
be slowed by adding drops of lemon juice into it.
5.
Leaves and stems (such as those of lettuce) can be put into theextractor
