TIPS ON JUICING

TIPS ON JUICING
THE INSIDE INFORMATION ON JUICING
Although juice drinks are usually developed with flavor, texture and aroma at the forefront, the health benefits certainly add to the pleasurable taste experience. Up to 70% of the nutrient content of fruit and vegetables is found in the juice. Liquids extracted from fresh fruit and vegetables form an important 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 flavoring agents.
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. Refer to the Fruit and Vegetable Facts chart.
• Keep your fruit and vegetables ready
for juicing by washing and drying them before storing.
• Most fruits and hardier type vegetables
can be stored at room temperature. The more delicate and perishable items such as 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, citrus, melons or pineapple, always peel before juicing.
• Some vegetables, such as cucumbers
can be processed unpeeled depending on the softness of the skin and the juicing requirements.
• All fruits with large pits, hard seeds or
stones such as nectarines, peaches, mangoes, apricots, plums and cherries must be pitted before juicing.
• Ensure vegetables such as beets, carrots,
etc. have all soil removed, are well washed and trimmed of leaves before juicing.
• Ensure fruits such as strawberries are
hulled before juicing and pears have their stalks removed.
• Citrus fruit can be juiced in the Juice
Fountain™ Plus, but remove the skin and excess pith before juicing.
• A small amount of lemon juice can
be added to apple juice to reduce discoloration.
NOTE
Your Juice Fountain™ Plus makes invigorating, frothy orange juice. Simply peel the oranges and remove any excess pith before juicing. It is best to refrigerate oranges before juicing.

TIPS ON JUICING
THE RIGHT TECHNIQUE
When juicing a variety of ingredients with varying textures, start with the softer texture ingredients on LOW speed and then gradually change to HIGH speed for the harder textured ingredients.
If you are juicing herbs, sprouts or other leafy green vegetables, either wrap them together to form a bundle or juice them in the middle of a combination of ingredients on LOW speed to obtain the best extraction.
NOTE
If juicing herbs or leafy green vegetables on their own, the juice yield will be low due to the nature of centrifugal juicing. It is advised to juice them with a combination of other fruit and vegetables.
All fruit and vegetables produce different 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.
To extract the maximum amount of juice always push the food pusher down slowly.
USING THE PULP
The remaining pulp left after juicing fruit and vegetables is mostly fiber and cellulose which, like the nutrients in juice, are 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.
There are a number of recipes contained in this book for the use of pulp. Apart from these, pulp can be used to add bulk to rissole mixtures, thicken casseroles or soups.
Apart from consumption use, pulp is great to create compost for the garden.
NOTE
When using the pulp, there may be some pieces of fruit or vegetables remaining. These should be removed before using the pulp in any recipes.
GETTING THE RIGHT BLEND
It is easy to create great tasting juice. If you have been making your own vegetable or fruit juices, then you know how simple it is to invent new combinations. Taste, color, texture and ingredient preferences are a personal choice. Think of some flavors and foods – would they work well together or would they clash? Some bold flavors could over power the more subtle flavors of others. It is however, a good rule of thumb is to combine starchy, pulpy ingredients with those high in moisture.
