TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
The softer the texture of a fruit or vegetable, the thicker the juice
produced. Apricots, peaches, pears, melons and strawberries are
soft-textured fruits. The juipe 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, appiè, etc. Process soft-textured fruits
first, followed by firmer fruits and vegetables, in order to insure
maximum extraction of juices from varying degrees of textures. Beet
greens, parsley, spinach, and watercress yieid very rich and thick
juices. They are very strong- flavored and taste best when combined
¡with other fruits and vegetabies. Process these thick, strong-flavored
'vegetables first, followed by firmer fruits and vegetables, in order to
insure maximum extraction of thick juice.
- Form ieafy vegetables into compact balls or rolls before inserting
' into Food Chute.
- It is not possible to extract juice from avocados or bananas.
- One pound of raw produce usualiy yields 1 cup (8 ounces) of juice.
- When working with iarge quantities of fruits and vegetables, be sure
to stop unit to empty Pulp Bin as it begins to fill. Empty after
approximately 2 pounds of food have been processed for best
results. The Cutter/Strainer should also be cleaned as the extraction
will decrease considerably.
- If you desire a clear juice, filter through layers of cheesecloth or a
coffeemaker filter.
- To keep juices from discoloring during storage add a few teaspoons
of lemon juice or ascorbic acid powder during storage stage.
- Serve juices Immediately as the favor 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 normal. It increases the juice’s
flavor and nutritive value.
Potato juice can be used in place of cornstarch or flour as a
thickening for gravies and soups.
- Vegetable juice mixed with carrot juice will produce a sweeter
vegetable flavor.
Freeze vegetable pulp for use in making soups.
