21 TIPS ON JUICING
THE INSIDE INFORMATION ON JUICE
Although juice drinks are usually developed with
flavor, texture and aroma at the forefront, the
health benefits certainly add to the pleasurable
taste experience.
95% of the nutrient content of fruit and
vegetables is found in the juice. Liquids are an
important part of a well balanced diet. Fresh
juice is an easy 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.
Citrus juice is renowned for its high content of
Vitamin C and cold and flu fighting capabilities.
Freshly extracted juices should be consumed just
after they have been made to avoid vitamin
content loss.
PURCHASING AND STORAGE OF FRUIT AND
VEGETABLES
• Always use fresh fruit for juicing.
• Select fruit with firm, smooth skins and
free of blemishes.
• Valencia oranges are ideal for juicing.
• Select medium sized grapefruits, lemons
and limes for easier juicing.
• Other citrus fruits such as mandarins,
also known as tangerines, and grapefruit
will yield very little juice.
• Citrus fruits can be stored at room
temperature in a dry area.
• More juice is obtained from fruit stored
at room temperature.
