HINTS & TIPS
THE INSIDE INFORMATION ON
JUICE
Although juice drinks are usually developed
with flavor, texture and aroma at the
forefront, the health benefits certainly add to
the pleasurable taste experience.
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.
Freshly extracted juices should be consumed
just after they have been made to avoid a
loss of vitamin content.

THE RIGHT TECHNIQUE
When juicing a variety of ingredients
with varying textures start with the softer
textured ingredients on low speed then
change to high speed for harder textured
ingredients.
If you are juicing herbs, sprouts or leafy
green vegetables either wrap them together
to form a bundle or juice them in the middle
of a combination of ingredients on low
speed to obtain the best extraction.
NOTE
If juicing herbs or leafy green
vegetables on their own, the juice
yield will be low due to the nature of
centrifugal juicing. It is advised to
juice then with a combination of other
fruit and vegetables.
All fruit and vegetables produce different
amounts of liquids. This varies within the
same group i.e. one batch of tomatoes can
produce more juice than another batch.
Since juice recipes are not exact, the precise
quantities of any juice are not crucial to the
success of a particular mixture.
NOTE
To extract the maximum amount of
juice always push the Food Pusher
down slowly.
