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.
• Keep your fruit and vegetables ready for
juicing by washing them before storing.
• Most fruits and hardier type vegetables
can be stored at room temperature.
The more delicate and perishable items
such as tomatoes, 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, melons or pineapple, always peel
before juicing.
• Citrus fruit can be juiced in the juicer if
peeled first.
• All fruits with pits, hard seeds or stones such
as nectarines, peaches, mangoes, apricots,
plums and cherries must be pitted before
juicing.
• A small amount of lemon juice can be added
to apple juice to prohibit browning.
NOTE
Your juicer makes invigorating, frothy orange
juice. Simply peel the oranges and juice. (It is
best to refrigerate oranges before juicing).

THE RIGHT TECHNIQUE

When juicing a variety of ingredients with
varying textures start with the softer textured
ingredients then change to for harder texture
ingredients.
If you are juicing herbs, sprouts or leafy green
vegetables either wrap then together to form
a bundle or juice them in the middle of a
combination of ingredients 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 as with a combination of other fruit
and vegetables.
