TIPS ON JUICING
THE INSIDE INFORMATION ON JUICE
Although juice drinks are usually developed with
flavor, texture and aroma at the forefront, the
health benefits certainly add to the pleasurable
taste experience.
95% of the nutrient content of fruit and
vegetables is found in the juice. Liquids
extracted from fresh fruit and vegetables form
an important part of a well-balanced diet.
Fresh fruit and vegetable juices are a great
source of vitamins and minerals. Juices are
rapidly absorbed into the blood stream therefore
being the quickest way in which the body can
digest nutrients.
When you make your own juices, you have
complete control over what you include in them.
You select the ingredients and decide if you
need to use sugar, salt or other flavoring agents.
Freshly extracted juices should be consumed just
after they have been made to avoid a loss of
vitamin content.
PURCHASING AND STORAGE OF
FRUIT AND VEGETABLES
•
Always wash fruit and vegetables before juicing.
•
Always use fresh fruit and vegetables for juicing.
•
To save money and obtain fresher produce,
purchase fruit or vegetables that are in season.
•
Keep your fruit and vegetables ready for
juicing by washing them before storing.
•
Most fruits and hardier type vegetables can be
stored at room temperature. The more delicate
and perishable items such as tomatoes, berries,
leafy greens, celery, cucumbers and herbs should
be stored in the refrigerator until required.
PREPARATION OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES
•
If using fruits with hard or inedible skins such
as mangoes, guava, melons or pineapple,
always peel before juicing.
•
Citrus fruit can be juiced in the 800 Class
Juicer if peeled first.
•
All fruits with pits, hard seeds or stones such as
nectarines, peaches, mangoes, apricots, plums
and cherries must be pitted before juicing.
•
A small amount of lemon juice can be added
to apple juice to prevent browning.
HINT:
Your 800 Class Juicer makes invigorating, frothy
orange juice. Simply peel the oranges and juice.
(It is best to refrigerate oranges before juicing).
