Juicing Tips and Techniques

Purchasing and Storing Fruits & Vegetables
• Always wash fruits and vegetables
before juicing.
• Always use fresh fruits and vegetables
for juicing.
• To save money and obtain fresher
produce, purchase fruits or vegetables
that are in season.
• Keep your fruits and vegetables ready
for juicing by washing them before
storing.
Preparing Fruits & Vegetables
• It is recommended that fruits or veg-
etables, such as oranges, melons, or
mangoes, are peeled before placing in
juice extractor to minimize impact on
juice flavor.
• All fruits with pits and large seeds
such as nectarines, peaches, apri-
cots, plums and cherries MUST be
pitted before juicing.

Juicing Techniques

• When juicing a variety of different
ingredients of varying textures, best
results are gained by alternating
harder ingredients with softer ones.
For example, when juicing two hard
vegetables such as carrots and
parsnips and a softer type, such as
tomatoes, start with the parsnips, then
the tomato, finishing with the carrots.
Alternating between soft and hard
vegetables in this manner assists by
cleaning the Strainer Basket between
the vegetables. This enables the Juicer
to extract the maximum amount of
juice from each vegetable.

• Most fruits and hardier type vegeta-
bles can be stored at cool room
temperature. The more delicate and
perishable items such as tomatoes,
berries, leafy greens, celery, cucum-
bers and herbs should be stored in
the refrigerator until required.
Hint!
Your juice extractor makes invigorating,
frothy orange juice. Simply peel the
oranges and juice. For best results,
refrigerate oranges before juicing.
• All fruits and vegetables produce dif-
ferent 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, and juicing is not a
science, the precise quantities of any
juice are not crucial to the success of
a particular drink recipe. Specific
amounts are important in other recipes,
such as baked goods or jellies.
• The juice extractor is designed for
large quantities of food (1 lb.) so fill
chute to reduce vibration
