Juicing Tips and Techniques
PURCHASING AND STORING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES:
•
Always wash fruits and vegetables before juicing.
•
Always use fresh fruits and vegetables for juicing.
•
To save money and obtain fresher produce, purchase fruits or vegetables
that are in season.
•
Keep your fruits and vegetables ready for juicing by washing them before
storing.
•
Most fruits and hardier-type vegetables can be stored at cool room
temperature. More delicate and perishable items such as tomatoes,
berries, leafy greens, celery, cucumbers, and herbs should be stored in
the refrigerator until required.
PREPARING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES:
•
It is recommended that fruits or vegetables such as oranges, melons, or
mangoes are peeled before placing in juice extractor for best flavor.
•
All fruits with pits and large seeds such as nectarines, peaches, apricots,
plums, and cherries MUST be pitted before juicing.
HINT: Your juice extractor makes invigorating, frothy orange juice. Simply
peel the oranges and juice. For best results, refrigerate oranges before
juicing.
USING THE PULP:
•
The remaining pulp left after juicing fruits or vegetables is mostly fiber
and cellulose which, like the juice, contain vital nutrients necessary for the
daily diet and can be used in many ways. Pulp can be frozen for later use.
•
There are a number of recipes that use pulp. You can also use pulp to
thicken casseroles or soups.
•
Pulp is great used in the garden for compost.
SOY MILK, ALMOND MILK, AND RICE MILK:
•
Your juice extractor may be used to make soy milk, almond milk, and rice
milk. One cup (237 ml) of soybeans, almonds, or rice must be soaked in
4 cups (946 ml) of water for 24 to 48 hours in the refrigerator. Slowly pour
1 cup (237 ml) of the soaked mixture at a time into the food chute. The
liquid extracted from the soaked mixture is the “milk.”
•
Almonds must be soaked 24 to 48 hours before juicing.
•
Soy milk should be boiled to improve the flavor.
•
Vanilla, honey, and sugar may be added to enhance the flavor of each
milk type.

stops during operation due to overheating, unplug and allow it to cool
down for approximately 15 minutes. Plug machine back in to resume
normal operation.
