TIPS ON JUICING
THE RIGHT TECHNIQUE
When juicing a variety of ingredients with
varying textures start with the softer textured
ingredients on low speed then change to high
speed for harder texture ingredients.
If you are juicing herbs, sprouts or leafy green
vegetables either wrap them together to form
a bundle or juice them in the middle of a com-
bination of ingredients on low speed to obtain
the best extraction.
NOTE:
If juicing herbs or leafy green vege-
tables on their own, the juice yield will
be low due to the nature of centrifu-
gal juicing. It is advised to juice then
with a combination of other fruit and
vegetables.
All fruit and vegetables produce diff erent
amounts of liquids. This varies within the same
group i.e. one batch of tomatoes can produce
more juice than another batch. Since juice
recipes are not exact, the precise quantities
of any juice are not crucial to the success of a
particular mixture.
NOTE:
To extract the maximum amount of
juice always push the Food Pusher
down slowly.
GETTING THE RIGHT BLEND
It is easy to create great tasting juice. If you
have been making your own vegetable and
fruit juices, then you know how simple it is to
invent new combinations. Taste, colour, texture
and ingredient preferences are a personal thing.
Just think of some of your favourite fl avours
and foods – would they work well together or
would they clash. Some strong fl avours could
over power the more subtle fl avours of others.
It is however, a good rule of thumb to combine
starchy, pulpy ingredients with those high in
moisture.
USING THE PULP
The remaining pulp left after juicing fruit or
vegetables is mostly fi bre and cellulose which,
like the juice, contains vital nutrients necessary
for the daily diet and can be used in many ways.
However, like the juice, pulp should be used
that day to avoid loss of vitamins.
Some of the uses of pulp are to bulk out rissoles,
thicken casseroles or soups or in the case of
fruit, simply placed in a bowl topped with
meringue and baked for a simple dessert.
Quite apart from the consumption use, pulp is
great used in the garden for compost.
NOTE:
When using the pulp, there may be
some pieces of fruit or vegetables rema-
ining. These should be removed before
using the pulp in any recipes.
