Round fruits and vegetables
Before processing onions,
apples and other large, round
fruits and vegetables, trim them

ends flat, to make the food lie

flat side down. Position it as far
left as possible, to prevent it from
tilting when being processed.
Choose fruits that are firm and
not too ripe. Always remove large
hard pits and seeds from fruits
before processing. Seeds from
citrus fruits need not be removed.
You may remove the rind before
slicing or shredding, or leave the
rind on.

stem end flat. Remove the core
and scoop out the seeds. Leave
the end opposite the stem whole,

ensures round, even slices.
Large fruits like pineapple and
cantaloupe
Cut them in half and remove the
seeds or core. If necessary, cut
the halves into smaller pieces to
fit the feed tube. Remember to
cut the ends flat.
Cabbage and iceberg lettuce

and cut the center section into
wedges to fit the feed tube.
Remove the core from the
bottom piece and cut it and
