The Right Technique; Getting The Right Blend; Using The Pulp - Breville Fountain Plus Manuel D'instructions

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.

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.

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.
