Tips on juicing

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 fruits and vegetables form an important part of a well- balanced healthy diet. Fresh fruit and vegetable 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 21-22).

•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 for Juicer attachment

•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 un-peeled depending on the softness of the skin and the juicing requirements.

•All fruits with large pits, 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 ikon™ Froojie™ Juice Fountain® 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 ikon™ Froojie™ Juice Fountain® makes invigorating, frothy orange juice. Simply peel the oranges and remove any excess pith before juicing. It is best to refrigerate oranges before juicing.
