Technique
When juicing a variety of ingredients with varying textures, start with the softer
textured ingredients on a low speed then change to high speed for the harder textured
ingredients.
If you are juicing herbs, sprouts or leafy green vegetables either wrap them together to
form a bundle or juice them in the middle of a combination of ingredients on low speed to
obtain the best extraction.
If juicing herbs or leafy green vegetables on their own, the juice yield will be low due to
the nature of centrifugal juicing. It’s best to juice them with a combination of other fruit and
vegetables.
All fruit and vegetables produce different amounts of liquids. This varies within the same
group i.e. one batch of tomatoes can produce more juice than another batch. Since juice
recipes are not exact, the precise quantities of any juice are not crucial to the success of
the recipe.
To extract the maximum amount of juice always use the food pusher down slowly.
Experiment!
It’s easy to create great tasting juice. If you have been making your own vegetable and
fruit juices, then you know how simple it is to invent new combinations. Taste, colour,
texture and ingredient preference is a personal thing. Just think of some of your favourite
avours and foods—would they work well together or would they clash? Some strong
avours could overpower more subtle avours. A good rule of thumb is to combine
starchy, pulpy ingredients with those high in moisture.
Using the pulp
The remaining pulp left after juicing fruit or vegetables is mostly bre and cellulose which,
like the juice, contains vital nutrients necessary for the daily diet. Pulp can be used in
many ways, however, like the juice, pulp should be used the same day to avoid the loss
of vitamins.
Pulp can also be used to bulk out casseroles or soups. Fruit pulp can be simply placed in
a bowl, topped with meringue and baked for a simple dessert.
Pulp is also great used in the garden for compost.
When using the pulp, there may be some pieces of fruit or vegetable remaining. These
should be removed before using the pulp in any recipes.
