Tips on juicing The inside information on juicing Although juice drinks are usually developed with flavour, texture and aroma at the forefront, the health benefits certainly add to the pleasurable taste experience. 95% of the nutrient content of fruit and vegetables is found in the juice. Liquids extracted from fresh fruit and vegetables form an important part of a wellbalanced diet. Fresh fruit and vegetable juices are an easy to make source of vitamins and minerals.
The right technique 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 a particular mixture. When juicing a variety of ingredients with varying textures start with the softer textured ingredients then change to for harder texture ingredients.
