•Serve juices immediately, as the flavor and nutrient content decreases rapidly when juices are stored. If it is necessary to juice fruits and vegetables some time before serving, cover container tightly and refrigerate. Do not store for more than 24 hours.

•The flavor, color, and consistency of freshly juiced fruits will be different from canned juices.

•Substitute fruit or vegetable juices for stock or water in cooking.

•Some pulp remaining in juice is nor- mal. It increases the juice’s flavor and nutritional value.

•Potato juice can be used in place of cornstarch or flour as a thickening agent in gravies and soups.

•Vegetable juice mixed with carrot juice will produce a sweeter vegetable flavor.

•Freeze vegetable pulp for use in making soups.

•The softer the texture of a fruit or veg- etable, the thicker the juice produced. Apricots, peaches, pears, melons, and strawberries are soft- textured fruits. The juice that is extracted from these fruits is very thick and is known as nectar. It is best to combine these juices with thinner juices, such as carrot, apple, etc. Beet greens, parsley, spinach, and watercress yield very rich and thick juices. They are very strong- flavored and taste best when combined with other fruits and vegetables.
