JUICING TIPS

Apricots, bananas, 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 alternate processing of these juices with thinner juices, such as carrots, apples, etc. Process soft-textured fruits first, followed by firmer fruits and vegetables, in order to insure maximum removal of thick nectar.

Parsley, spinach and watercress yield very rich thick juices. They are very strong-flavored and taste best when combined with other fruits or vegetables. Process these thick, strong-flavored vegetables first, followed by firmer fruits and vegetables, in order

to insure maximum removal of thick juice.

One pound of raw produce usually yields one cup (250 ml) of juice.

Add a few teaspoons of lemon juice or ascorbic acid powder to your juice container before juicing to keep juices from discoloring.

Serve juices immediately, since the vitamin content decreases 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 more than 48 hours, unless canning or freezing.

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

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

Some pulp remaining in juice is normal. It increases the juice’s flavor and nutritive value.

Potato juice can be used in place of cornstarch or flour in thickening.

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

Should you wish to prepare large quantities of fruit and vegetable, be sure to check Pulp Container after processing 2 pounds (1 kg) of food. For best results empty Pulp Container when it is filled near the top.

For those who wish a clear juice, filter through layers of cheesecloth.

Cheesecloth is also helpful to remove any juice clinging to the pulp of moist foods. Just squeeze out additional juice.

NOTE: Do not use raspberries in this unit.

When the small seeds of the berries hit the teeth inside the basket, they split the seed and create a bitter taste. The end result juice will not be satisfactory. Although it looks as if the seeds are being processed successfully, they are really getting caught below the basket.

This will cause the juice to back up and spill over the motor.

It is not recommended to juice citrus fruits in this unit. They tend to foam from the citric acids they contain and spill onto the motor base.
