TIPS ON JUICING
THE INSIDE INFORMATION
ON JUICING
Although juice drinks are usually developed
with flavor, texture and aroma at the
forefront, the health benefits certainly add
to the pleasurable taste experience. Up to
70% 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
flavoring agents.
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. Refer to the Fruit and
Vegetable Facts chart.
• Keep your fruit and vegetables ready
for juicing by washing and drying them
before storing.
• Most fruits and hardier type vegetables
can be stored at room temperature. The
more delicate and perishable items
such as 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, citrus, melons or
pineapple, always peel before juicing.
• Some vegetables, such as cucumbers
can be processed unpeeled depending
on the softness of the skin and the
juicing requirements.
• All fruits with large pits, hard seeds or
stones such as nectarines, peaches,
mangoes, apricots, plums and cherries
must be pitted before juicing.
• Ensure vegetables such as beets, carrots,
etc. have all soil removed, are well
washed and trimmed of leaves before
juicing.
• Ensure fruits such as strawberries are
hulled before juicing and pears have
their stalks removed.
• Citrus fruit can be juiced in the Juice
Fountain™ Plus, but remove the skin and
excess pith before juicing.
• A small amount of lemon juice can
be added to apple juice to reduce
discoloration.
NOTE
Your Juice Fountain™ Plus makes
invigorating, frothy orange juice.
Simply peel the oranges and remove
any excess pith before juicing. It is
best to refrigerate oranges before
juicing.
