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.
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.
PREPARING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES:
It is recommended that fruits or vegetables such as oranges, melons, or
•
mangoes are peeled before placing in juice extractor for best flavor.
All fruits with pits and large seeds such as nectarines, peaches, apricots,
•
plums, and cherries MUST be pitted before juicing.
HINT: Your juice extractor makes invigorating, frothy orange juice. Simply
peel the oranges and juice. For best results, refrigerate oranges 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. Pulp can be frozen for later use.
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.

SOY MILK, ALMOND MILK, AND RICE MILK:
Your juice extractor may be used to make soy milk, almond milk, and rice
•
milk. One cup (237 ml) of soybeans, almonds, or rice must be soaked in
4 cups (946 ml) of water for 24 to 48 hours in the refrigerator. Slowly pour
1 cup (237 ml) of the soaked mixture at a time into the food chute. The
liquid extracted from the soaked mixture is the "milk."
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.
