TIPS ON JUICING
TIPS ON JUICING
THE INSIDE INFORMATION ON JUICE
Although juice drinks are usually developed
with fl avour, texture and aroma at the forefront,
the health benefi ts certainly add to the pleasu-
rable taste experience.
95% of the nutrient content of fruit and vege-
tables is found in the juice. Liquids extracted
from fresh fruit and vegetables form an impor-
tant part of a well-balanced diet. Fresh fruit and
vegetable juices are an easy to make source
of vitamins and minerals. 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 fl avouring
agents.
Freshly extracted juices should be consumed
just after they have been made to avoid a loss of
vitamin content.
PURCHASING AND STORAGE OF FRUIT AND
VEGETABLES
• Always wash fruit and vegetables before
juicing.
• Always use fresh fruit and vegetables for
juicing.
• To save money and obtain fresher produce,
purchase fruit or vegetables that are in
season.
• 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 VEGETABLES
• If using fruits with hard or inedible skins
such as mangoes, guava, melons or pine-
apple, always peel before juicing.
• Citrus fruit can be juiced in the JE 8010
Juicer if peeled fi rst.
• All fruits with pits, hard seeds or stones
such as nectarines, peaches, mangoes,
apricots, plums and cherries must be pitted
before juicing.
• A small amount of lemon juice can be
added to apple juice to inhibit browning.
