hints and tips
95% of the nutrient content of fruit and vegetables is found in the juice. Liquids extracted
from fresh fruits and vegetables form an important part of a well-balanced healthy diet.
Fresh fruit and vegetable juices are an easy way to introduce a source of vitamins and
minerals to your diet. 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
flavouring agents.
Freshly extracted juices should be consumed just after they have been made to avoid a
loss of vitamin content.
Purchasing and storing fruit and vegetables
• To save money and obtain fresher produce, purchase fruit or vegetables that are in
season—see the fruit and vegetable facts chart on page 12.
• 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 vegetable
• Always use fresh fruit and vegetables for juicing.
• Always wash fruit and vegetables before juicing.
• If you are using fruits with hard or inedible skins such as mangoes, guava, melons or
pineapple, always peel them before juicing.
• Citrus fruit can be juiced in your whole fruit juicer if peeled first.
• All fruits with pits, hard seeds or stones such as nectarines, peaches, mangoes,
apricots, plums and cherries must be pitted or destoned before juicing.
• A small amount of lemon juice can be added to apple juice to prohibit browning.
