GOLDEN RULES

Respect the seasons.

No more strawberries in January! Seasonal

fruit, picked when ripe, near you and just before you eat it, has far more flavour
and far greater nutritional value than fruit that has ripened in your fridge or in
the hold of a ship. What’s more, it’s good for the planet!

Buy fresh produce in small amounts

The fresher the fruit

and vegetables, the more vitamins they will contain and the more juice they
will yield. So it’s best to buy as and when you need them. Look out for those
unmistakeable signs of freshness: smooth skin, green leaves, no bruising, etc.

If possible, opt for organic produce, especially in the case of fruit and vegetables
you don’t need to peel, as the skin is generally rich in nutrients. It will also have
far more flavour!

Use a variety

different fruit and vegetables contain different substances and

therefore benefit your health in different ways.

Always rinse

your fruit and vegetables before using them. Obvious,

really…. Don’t leave them to soak for hours - just run them under the tap.

Store in a cool place!

Some fruit and vegetables don’t like the cold

and prefer to be put in a fruit bowl (tomatoes, avocados, etc.), while others can
be kept in the vegetable compartment of your fridge (carrots, cucumbers,
peppers, etc.). Whatever the case, they all need to spend an hour in the fridge
before being juiced, as juice is nicer chilled than lukewarm. If you add ice cubes,
make sure they were made with good-quality water.

Drink immediately.

Drink or use it immediately, if possible, as some

vitamins, particularly vitamin C, are fragile and can be destroyed by exposure to
light and to air (oxygen). If you have to store your juice for a while, add a few drops
of lemon juice so that it keeps for longer and put it in the fridge.

Have fun!

You can make an endless number of healthy and delicious

concoctions with your juicer, so give your imagination free rein.
Fruit is rich in fructose (a natural sugar), so if you are sugar intolerant, drink your
juice in moderation.
In the A-Z listings on the following pages, INTERFEL dieticians Camille Roy and
Virginie Roux describe the benefits of different fruit and vegetables and tell you
how to choose the best ones.
