The inside information on juicing
Although juice drinks are usually 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 fruit
and vegetables form an important part of a well-
balanced diet. Fresh fruit and vegetable juices are
an easy to make 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 juices, you have complete
control over what you include in them. You select the
ingredients and decide if you need to use sugar, salt
or other flavouring agents.
Freshly extracted juices should be consumed just
after they have been made 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.
• Keep your fruit and vegetables ready for juicing by
washing 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
• If using fruits with hard or inedible skins such as
mangoes, guava, melons or pineapple, always peel
before juicing.
• Citrus fruit can be juiced in the Juice Fountain if
peeled first.
• All fruits with pits, hard seeds or stones such as
nectarines, peaches, mangoes, apricots, plums and
cherries must be pitted before juicing.
• A small amount of lemon juice can be added to
apple juice to prohibit browning.
Your Juice Fountain makes invigorating, frothy
orange juice. Simply peel the oranges and juice.
(It is best to refrigerate oranges before juicing).
That’s the idea
