B. Homogenizing: Making Pâtés and Basic Food Processing
Follow these instructions when you are making delicious pâtés or mock meats, or if you are grinding
soaked nuts, beans, or when making other recipes where basic food processing is required. The
food will be processed by the Twin Gears and will be ejected through the juice outlet underneath.
1. Assemble your Greenstar Elite with the Homogenizing Screen (rectangular hole facing downward)
and the Juicing Knob.
2. Place the Juice Pitcher or other container to catch the processed food underneath the Juice Outlet.
3. Position a large bowl or plastic bag under the Pulp Outlet to catch any food that might come out
of the Pulp Outlet.
4. Prepare your ingredients and feed them into the feeding chute one small handful at a time. Press
down with the desired plunger.
C. Making Raw Breadsticks, Mochi, Frozen Fruit sorbets, etc.
Follow these instructions when you are making delicious raw breadsticks made from soaked nuts
and grains, mochi from sticky rice, sorbets from frozen fruits, or other recipes where a smoother
consistency is required. These instructions utilize the full food processing power of Greenstar Elite.
The processed food will be ejected in a cylindrical shape through the pulp outlet on the front of the
machine.
1. Assemble your Greenstar Elite with the Breadstick Screen and the Breadstick Knob.
2. Position a large bowl under the Pulp Outlet to catch the processed food.
3. Prepare your ingredients and feed them into the feeding chute one small handful at a time. Press
down with the desired plunger.
a. When making raw breadsticks, use a knife to cut the breadsticks to the desired length as it is
coming out of the pulp outlet. Dehydrate breadsticks for a delightful crunch.
b. When making nut butters, if a smoother consistency is required, try adding some of the nut's
oils, available at health food stores.

If you are making juice cocktails of various different vegetable and
fruit combinations, prepare the produce per the instructions on the
previous page. Feed the produce into the feeding chute, alternating
between hard and softer produce. For example, when making
a carrot/wheatgrass combination, juice a piece of carrot, then a
handful of wheatgrass, then another piece of carrot, etc.
Your Greenstar Elite is capable of juicing a wide variety of vegetables
and fruits. When trying new types of produce, experiment with the
screens and with different positions for the juicing knob. If you ever
notice that the produce backs up into the feeding chute, loosen
the juicing knob and let the machine run for a few seconds. If the
machine doesn't clear, loosen the juicing knob even more or remove
it. Always feed the vegetables and fruits into the machine slowly,
one piece at a time for best results.
Note: Greenstar Elite will not be able to juice very soft fruits like
strawberries or bananas because there is not enough body behind
the pulp to get pushed past the screen. These types of fruits are
better blended or can be used to make frozen fruit sorbets.
