HINTS & TIPS
PREPARATION OF FRUIT &
VEGETABLES FOR PUREE
EXTRACTOR
• Only soft fruits should be used with the
Puree Disc.
• When using fruits with hard inedible
skins, such as mangoes, pineapple or
kiwi, always peel before juicing.
• When using fruits with a hard core such
as pineapple, always remove this
before juicing.
• All fruits with pits, hard seeds or stones
such as nectarines, peaches, mangoes
and apricots must be pitted or seeded
before juicing.
• Passionfruit pulp, peeled kiwi and
berries can be processed without
removing seeds.
NOTE
When using the Puree Disc only
use Speed 1. Always ensure motor is
running before adding fruit and/or
vegetables to feed chute.
GETTING THE RIGHT BLEND
It is easy to create great tasting juice. If you
have been making your own vegetable and
fruit juices, then you know how simple it is
to invent new combinations. Taste, color,
texture and ingredient preferences are a
personal thing. Just think of some of your
favorite flavors and foods – would they work
well together or would they clash. Some
bold flavors could over power the more
subtle flavors of others. It is however, a good
rule of thumb to combine starchy, pulpy
ingredients with those high in moisture.
USING THE PULP
The remaining pulp left after juicing fruit
or vegetables is mostly fiber and cellulose
which, like the juice, contains vital nutrients
necessary for the daily diet and can be
used in many ways. However, like the juice,
pulp should be used that day to avoid loss
of vitamins. Some of the uses of pulp are
to bulk out rissoles, thicken casseroles or
soups or in the case of fruit, simply placed
in a bowl topped with meringue and baked
for a simple dessert. Quite apart from the
consumption use, pulp is great used in the
garden for compost.
NOTE
When using the pulp, there may be
some pieces of fruit or vegetables
remaining. These should be removed
before using the pulp in any recipes
