Handy Juicing Hints

•Cut fruit and vegetables into suitable sizes to fit the Feed Tube.

•Remove stones and hard seeds from fruits such as peaches, plums and apricots.

•Remove skin from citrus fruits and other thick skinned fruits eg. watermelon.

•Leafy vegetables should be rolled up tightly into compact balls or rolls.

•Apricots, bananas, peaches, pears, melons and strawberries are soft-textured fruits. The juice 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 softtextured fruits first, followed by firmer fruits and vegetables, in order to ensure maximum removal of thick juice.

•Allow the motor to run for approximately 1 to 2 seconds after you have finished feeding fruit and vegetables into the Feed Tube. This allows the maximum amount of juice to be extracted.

•Add a few teaspoons of lemon juice to your juice container before juicing to keep juices from discolouring.

•Serve juices immediately for maximum vitamin retention. Store juice in the refrigerator, covered. Do not store for more than 48 hours, unless canning or freezing.

•Some pulp remaining in juice is normal.

It increases the juice’s flavour and nutritive value.

•The season, age and ripeness of the fruit will have an effect on the amount of juice extracted.
