Helpful hints for juicing

Preparing fruit and vegetables

Wash all fruit and vegetables well before
juicing. There is no need to peel vegetables
that have a thin skin but a light scrub with
a clean sponge will help rid of any dirt that
may be stuck on or any waxy coatings.

Peel fruit and vegetables that have a thick
skin such as melons, pineapple and citrus
fruit.

Juice only the freshest of fruit and vegetables
to get the most out them and the best
flavours.

Cut large pieces of fruit, such as melons into
wedges.

Some seeds from citrus fruits can be bitter
so you may want to remove some of the seeds
if desired.

Remove seeds and stones from fruit such as
mangoes, papaya and stone fruit. This will
prevent the blade from getting damaged.

Juicing techniques

When juicing different fruit and vegetables it
may help to juice in different combinations.
For example, when juicing apples and
oranges, juice the soft fruit (oranges) first,
then follow with the hard fruit (apples)
second. This will help you to achieve the
maximum juice extraction from the fruit and
vegetables.

When juicing fresh herbs such as mint or
parsley, add the herbs in between the fruit
and vegetables to get the most out of the
herb or if only using a small quantity, add the
herb at the same time as a piece of fruit and
vegetable.

Bananas can be hard to juice but the taste
goes a long way. When juicing a blend of
fruit with bananas, add the banana as either
the first or second piece of fruit. The nectar
of the banana will sit inside the filtering
basket and as the remaining fruits are added
into the juice extractor they will release the
banana nectar throughout the rest of the
juice resulting in frothy flavoursome juice.

When juicing small fruit such as grapes or
strawberries, add the fruit in handfuls rather
than one at a time, this will maximise the
amount of juice extracted.

Be aware that beetroot stains all other fruit
and vegetables. If juicing several different
juice combinations, juice the drink with the
beetroot last, so as to not stain the other
drinks.
