The inside information on juicing

Although the juice drinks contained in this booklet were developed with flavour, texture and aroma at the forefront, the health benefits certainly add to the pleasurable taste experience.

95% 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 healthy diet. Fresh fruit and vegetables juices are an easy 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 fruit and vegetable juices, you have complete control over what is included. Select the ingredients and decide if you need to add sugar, salt or other flavouring agents after juicing. Freshly extracted juices should be consumed immediately after they have been processed to avoid a loss of vitamin content.

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 (page 19-20).

•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 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, guava, 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 piths, hard seeds or stones such as nectarines, peaches, mangoes, apricots, plums and cherries must be pitted before juicing.

•Ensure vegetables such as beetroot, 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 discolouration.

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.
