Helpful hints for juicing

Preparing fruit and vegetables

Wash all fruit and vegetables well before juicing. There is no need to peel vegetables that have a thin skin but a light scrub with a clean sponge will help rid of any dirt that may be stuck on or any waxy coatings.

Peel fruit and vegetables that have a thick skin such as melons, pineapple and citrus fruit.

Juice only the freshest of fruit and vegetables to get the most out them and the best flavours.

Cut large pieces of fruit, such as melons into large wedges.

Some seeds from citrus fruits can be bitter so you may want to remove some of the seeds if desired.

Remove seeds and stones from fruit such as mangoes, papaya and stone fruit. This will prevent the blade from getting damaged.

Juicing techniques

When juicing different fruit and vegetables it may help to juice in different combinations. For example, when juicing apples and oranges, juice the soft fruit (oranges) first, then follow with the hard fruit (apples) second. This will help you to achieve the maximum juice extraction from the fruit and vegetables.

When juicing fresh herbs such as mint or parsley, add the herbs in between the fruit and vegetables to get the most out of the herb or if only using a small quantity, add the herb at the same time as a piece of fruit and vegetable.

Bananas can be hard to juice but the taste goes a long way. When juicing a blend of fruit with bananas, add the banana as either the first or second piece of fruit. The nectar of the banana will sit inside the filtering basket and as the remaining fruits are added into the juice extractor they will release the banana nectar throughout the rest of the juice resulting in frothy flavoursome juice.

When juicing small fruit such as grapes or strawberries, add the fruit in handfuls rather than one at a time, this will maximise the amount of juice extracted.

Be aware that beetroot stains all other fruit and vegetables. If juicing several different juice combinations, juice the drink with the beetroot last, so as to not stain the other drinks.
