ADVICE FROM OUR DIETICIANS
Apple
Select firm fruit with good skin. There
are hundreds of varieties to choose
from, ranging from the tart and
refreshing Granny Smith to the milder,
sweeter Golden Delicious. Wash them
and process them directly in the juicer
without peeling or deseeding them.
Benefits: apples contain a wide
variety of antioxidants.
Apricot, Peach, Nectarine
Select fruit that are fully ripe: they
will be fragrant, a good colour and
feel heavy in the hand. Wash them
and remove their stones.
Their flesh yields a
fairly thick nectar, so if
you are using the juicer
attachment, you may need to combine
them with other, juicier, fruit or
vegetables, to get the juice flowing
and dilute the pulp.
Benefits: apricots are exceptionally
rich in provitamin A (50% of
recommended daily intake). These
stone fruits are very digestible, as their
fibres consist mainly of pectin, which is
very well tolerated.
Asparagus
Select firm, young spears, either white
for a subtle, delicate flavour, or green
for a more pronounced taste. Wash
and discard the tough, woody ends
before processing them in the juicer.
Benefits: asparagus juice contains
diuretic compounds and elements
such as potassium that promote renal
function.
Banana
Choose fruit with uniformly yellow
skin. Banana flesh is so thick that
when it is pressed, it produces a
purée rather than a juice. This is why
it is a good idea to combine it with
other fruit. Always process bananas
(peeled) first, followed by other,
juicier fruit to dilute the purée.
Benefits: this high-energy food (90
kcal/100 g) is extremely rich in
potassium (a single banana meets
the recommended daily intake).
Nutritious and easy to digest,
bananas are rich in starch, phosphorus
and vitamins A, B and C.
