THE INSIDE INFORMATION
ON JUICING
Fresh fruit and vegetable juices are an
excellent source of vitamins and minerals.
When you make your own fruit and
vegetable juices, you have complete control
over what is included.
PREPARATION OF FRUITS
AND VEGETABLES
Fruits with hard or inedible skins should be
peeled before juicing, including mangoes,
guavas, melons, etc.
Some vegetables, such as cucumbers can
be processed unpeeled depending on the
softness of the skin and whether you like the
taste of the skin in your juice.
Fruits with hard seeds or pits must be
pitted before juicing, including nectarines,
peaches, mangoes, plums, cherries, as the
skin and pith can make the juice bitter.
Citrus fruits with thick pith or skin should
be peeled before juicing, including oranges,
lemons, mandarins, etc.
Trim leaves and wash vegetables to remove
earth/soil, including carrots, beet, spinach, etc.
Trim, hull and remove stalks before juicing,
including strawberries, apples, pears, etc.
A small amount of lemon juice can be added
to apple juice to reduce browning.
THE RIGHT TECHNIQUE
When juicing a variety of ingredients with
varying textures, start with the softer texture
ingredients on the LOW speed and then
change to the 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 and alternate with more
solid ingredients for the best extraction.
Fruits and vegetables produce different
amounts of liquids, and can vary between
batches or at different times of year. Juice
recipes are not exact, so therefore 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.
Allow the motor to reach full speed before
putting ingredients in the chute. Pressing
ingredients down before the juicer reaches
full speed can cause the motor to stall or
overload. Use gentle to moderate pressure on
the pusher. Lower pressure produces a better
juice yield.
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.
Vegetable pulp can be used to add bulk to
rissole mixtures, thicken casseroles or soups.
Fruit pulp can be placed in a heat proof bowl,
topped with meringue, and baked in the oven
for a simple dessert.
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.
Apart from consumption use, pulp can also
be used to create compost for the garden.
