THE INSIDE INFORMATION
ON JUICE
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
from an important part of a well-balanced
healthy 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 (see the Fruit and Vegetable
Facts chart on pages 20 and 21).
• 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.
