• Serve juices immediately, as the flavor
and nutrient content decreases rapidly
when juices are stored. If it is necessary
to juice fruits and vegetables some
time before serving, cover container
tightly and refrigerate. Do not store
for more than 24 hours.
• The flavor, color, and consistency of
freshly juiced fruits will be different
from canned juices.
• Substitute fruit or vegetable juices for
stock or water in cooking.
• Some pulp remaining in juice is nor-
mal. It increases the juice’s flavor and
nutritional value.
• Potato juice can be used in place of
cornstarch or flour as a thickening
agent in gravies and soups.
• Vegetable juice mixed with carrot juice
will produce a sweeter vegetable flavor.
• Freeze vegetable pulp for use in
making soups.
• The softer the texture of a fruit or veg-
etable,
the thicker the juice produced.
Apricots, peaches, pears, melons, and
strawberries are soft- textured fruits.
The juice that is extracted from these
fruits is very thick and is known as
nectar. It is best to combine these
juices with thinner juices, such as
carrot, apple, etc. Beet greens, parsley,
spinach, and watercress yield very rich
and thick juices. They are very strong-
flavored and taste best when combined
with other fruits and vegetables.
