Fruit and vegetable juices preparation
Fruit and vegetables for juice extraction, should be fresh and washed
carefully
.
Vegetables should be cleaned from sand and soil with running water and peeled.
Publications concerning juice preparation, recommend to deep the vegetables into
water with salt and citric acid for 5 minutes. Such prepared vegetables do not get
darker during processing and their juice has natural colour.
Berry fruits should be washed directly before using, so that they do not loose their
freshness.
The selection of fruit and vegetables depends on the season of the year, taste likes
or health recommendations. The way of preparation influences the nutritive value.
Juices should be made of juicy kinds of fruits and vegetables, which should be ripe
and fresh, to get the juice of the perfect flavour and fragrance.
The following vegetables are good for juice preparation: tomatoes, carrots, celeries,
beetroots, parsleys, onions, cabbages, cucumbers, black turnip, rhubarb, etc. You
can also prepare juice of lettuce, spinach, leek and other vegetables as part of diet.
The following vegetables can be added to juices chopped: radish, chives, green
parsley, dill, cress.
Fruit juice can be made of almost all kinds of fruit.
Apples, peaches, apricots and plums should be blanched with boiling water on the
strainer.
Remove the stones from the fruit, which have it, to prevent damages of the juice
extractor.
Put the fruit or vegetables into the chute after you start up the juice extractor.
In case the product is blocked in the chute or on the filter pulping blade, use the
TURBO
function. If the problem still exists, switch the appliance off, disassemble
and clean.
The fresh juice nutritive value is close to fruit and vegetables nutritive value, but part
of fibre is eliminated during juice centrifuging process. That is why the juice can be
consumed by people, who can not eat raw vegetables due to digestions problems.
Juice drinks are specially recommended for children and elderly people
nourishment.
It is recommended to have a small amount of water while drinking vegetable juices,
which are very strong. If the juices are not diluted, a daily dose should not exceed
a half of glass.
Juice extracting of plums, blueberries, soft pears, apples or other fruit is
inconvenient. The flesh of these fruit becomes a spongy pulp, which blocks the filter
holes. You can use these fruit mixing a small amount of them with other fruit or
vegetables, it is also necessary to clean the filter more often.
You can extract a small amount of grapes juice, but it is necessary to put whole
bunch to the chute after removing ligneous stalk.
Cut the radical vegetables and hard fruit into pieces small enough for the chute. Cut
the apples into pieces (if they are not small enough to put them whole into the chute)
without peeling and removing seed cavity.
