Juicing Tips and Techniques
Purchasing and Storing Fruits and 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 and Vegetables
• It is recommended that fruits or
vegetables 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,
apricots, plums, and cherries MUST
be pitted before juicing.
Using the Pulp
• The remaining pulp left after juicing
fruits or vegetables is mostly fiber
and cellulose which, like the juice,
contain 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.
Soy Milk, Almond Milk, and Rice Milk
Your juice extractor may be used to
make soy milk, almond milk, and rice
milk. One cup of soybeans, almonds,
or rice must be soaked in four cups
of water for 24 to 48 hours in the
refrgerator. Slowly pour one cup of
the soaked mixture at a time into the
food chute.
The liquid extracted from the soaked
mixture is the "milk."

• Most fruits and hardier-type
vegetables can be stored at cool
room temperature. More delicate
and perishable items such as
tomatoes, berries, leafy greens,
celery, cucumbers, 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.
• There are a number of recipes that
use pulp. You can also use pulp to
thicken casseroles or soups.
• Pulp is great used in the garden
for compost.
NOTES:
• Almonds must be soaked 24 to 48
hours before juicing.
• Soy milk should be boiled to improve
the flavor.
• Vanilla, honey, and sugar may be
added to enhance the flavor of each
milk type.
