Hints on juice preparation
Observe the freshness rule:
Buy fresh, extract fresh and drink fresh, to get the most vitamins from your fruit and vegetables.
Clean the fruit or vegetables for juice extraction as single pieces. Only just before juice extraction should you chop the fruit or vegetables into pieces small enough to pass conveniently through the filling shaft.
Fresh juice are by nature not clear like packaged juices. Pulp and suspended matter are carriers of vegetable proteins, minerals, and vitamins as important constituents of fresh juices.
Stir the juice before drinking!
If the juice is to be stored in the fridge, please cover it or pour it into a clean bottle with a top to prevent contamination with flavours from other foodstuffs.
Metal containers may affect the flavour of the juice.
Fruit and vegetables for juicing
Root vegetables and tuberous vegetables
Carrots, celery, kohlrabi, radishes
Clean and peel, if necessary.
Cabbage
All of a red or white cabbage can be juiced. Either cut the heads into suitably sized pieces or remove the leaves from the stalk and roll them into a ball.
Vegetable fruits
e.g. Cucumbers, melons, papaya, pomegranates
Do not peel or remove skins (except for melons), cut into suitably sized pieces, do not remove the centre with the seeds but extract the juice from the whole fruit.
e.g. Peppers
Do not juice the inner parts with the seeds and the stalk.
Rhubarb
Rhubarb is not suitable for juicing!
Pomes
Apples, pears
Always juice with the skin on. The core also does not have to be removed. Cut them up, so that they fit comfortably in the filling bowl.
Quinces
Do not use in the juice extractor!
The very hard flesh can cause unusual load on the motor and may even cause damage to the appliance.
Celeriac is less suitable for juicing than celery.
Beetroot
Peel thinly. The skin tastes too strong and if not removed spoils the flavour of the juice.
Stone fruit
Plums, cherries, peaches
Remove stones from the fruit. When extracting the juice, only press the plunger down lightly. This increases the juice yield.
Leafy vegetables, cabbages
Curly kale, spinach, lettuce, garden herbs
Do not feed these vegetables too quickly into the juice extractor. Feed everything with soft leaves, e.g. spinach, into the juice extractor rolled into a ball.
Soft fruit
Redcurrants, blackcurrants and elderberries
With berries, remove only the thick stalks. Berries give a somewhat thicker juice, because they start to become gelatinous during the juicing process. (Redcurrants and blackcurrants are not suitable for juicing because they become very gelatinous very quickly.)
