ADVICE FROM OUR DIETICIANS
Ginger
Only use firm, fresh roots with no
wrinkles. You only need a small piece
of ginger root and this must always
be processed in the juicer before the
other fruit and vegetables, when
making zingy cocktails.
Benefits: ginger is rich in minerals,
but poor in sodium. It is therefore
ideal for seasoning dishes in a
salt-free diet. Ginger has many
medicinal qualities, aiding digestion,
and combating travel and morning
sickness.
Grape
Grapes should be firm, of uniform
size and firmly attached to
their stalks. Wash them
carefully and strip them
from the bunch.
Their sweet juice is
very popular with
children.
Benefits: as grape juice is very sweet,
it can help sportsmen and women
recover quickly after intense physical
exercise. If it is part of a slimming diet,
it needs to be diluted or combined with
the juice of another fruit.
Guava
Choose guavas with pale yellow skin
- a sign of ripeness. Remove this skin
before processing in the juicer or the
Smoothie
m
ix . As its flesh is very
dense, it is a good idea to process
just one fruit at a time and to empty
the juicer basket before processing
other types of fruit.
Benefits: guavas are exceptionally rich
in vitamin C. The juicer provides
a means of eliminating most of its
insoluble fibres, which might otherwise
irritate sensitive intestines.
Kiwi
Select ripe fruit that are soft to touch.
Peel and cut into pieces.
Benefits: extremely rich in vitamin C,
it is an excellent all-round tonic.
Lettuce
Select a lettuce with lush green leaves.
Detach a few leaves, wash them and
roll them together to form a small
package that can then be introduced
into the feed tube. Its juice is quite
bitter, so it is best to mix it with other
juices.
