Practical Advice For Squeezers Or Juicers

Juicing is easy, but it's worth learning some tips to get better results.

What fruit and vegetables should I buy?

1. Buy in season from this website relating to the home products. Fruits bought outside the season proper for them usually come from distant countries, so they go a long way before they reach you. They are collected and sent not fully ripe, which lacks the characteristic features of ripe, prosperous fruit: color, taste and smell.

2. Be guided by your senses when you choose fruit in the store or on a market stall. Smell, touch, appearance - all these features will tell you whether the fruit is ripe and tasty, or on the contrary sour, immature and bland.

3. Look for the right fruit for you until you find it. The fact that some fruits are less popular during a given period and are more difficult to access may be due to the fact that it is not the season for them and therefore they are not in stores at that time.

4. Watch out for mold on the fruit. Carefully inspect them for mold marks. Never buy fruit with traces of mold!

5. Buy fruits that look natural. Do not choose fruits that stand out with their appearance, color, size, and smell. For example, do not buy green strawberries.

6. Pay attention to spots, bruises and abrasions on the skin, which indicate that the fruit was not properly protected during transport and storage.

7. Judge the fruit by its fragrance. Some fruits have a characteristic smell when ripe. E.g. Cantaloupe or Kasaba melons. Others, in turn, may take on a sour smell as soon as they begin to deteriorate.

8. Touch the fruit you are going to buy, but do it gently so as not to damage it. Hard fruit like apples or pears should be "hard" to the touch. In the case of peaches and plums, in turn, and other fruits with soft flesh, you should feel this softness to the touch. general fruit

9. Choose fruit offered loose on shelves, in boxes or cartons, instead of those packed in containers, foil, nets or boxes. It is known that from one rotten fruit several other ones can break down, and it is rare for all fruit to be healthy in the bulk package.

10. Pick up a bag of bought fruit. If you have the impression that it is quite heavy in relation to the amount (volume) of fruit, then you have made a good purchase!

How to wash fruit and vegetables

1. Collect all the fruits and vegetables you intend to wash together and place them on the counter next to the sink.

2. If you use a sieve, place it on the sink.

3. Unscrew lukewarm or cool water. Never use hot or very cold water.

4. Dip fruit and vegetables under water. For washing some vegetables, for example potatoes that grow in the ground, it is worth using a suitable brush. Make sure that it is not too hard as it may damage the skin of vegetables.

5. After washing, make sure that no residue of soil, dirt, sand or other contaminants remain among the fruits and vegetables.

6. Cut off fruit and vegetable fragments on which you see mechanical damage. Throw away bad art.

How to prepare fruit and vegetables for juicing

1. If you want to squeeze fruit with a hard, inedible skin, such as watermelons, mangoes, melons and pineapples, always peel them off your skin before squeezing.

2. Citrus fruit must also be peeled before pressing.

3. For fruit with stones and hard seeds, such as peaches, nectarines, plums, mangoes, apricots and cherries, remove the stones before squeezing.

4. Always cut fruit such as apples or pears, because it often happens that their seed nests are moldy.

5. A special slicer will be useful for cutting apples, which in one movement will divide the apple into 8 particles fit into the juicer's bore hole. You can buy it in most hypermarkets.

6. Hard material (e.g. carrots) is better to cut into smaller pieces - this allows you to squeeze more juice and makes it easier to insert the raw material into the juicer's bore hole.

Tips for squeezer users

1. It's best to use fresh fruit and vegetables. Storage causes the juices contained in them to dry up and the nutrient loss.

2. Be aware that fresh juice will never have the same consistency and taste as carton juices. It will be denser, more essential and much healthier.

3. The structure of the fruit changes during prolonged storage, the juice evaporates, the fruit shrinks and becomes lighter. It is harder to squeeze the juice out of it and it is less.

4. Remember the rule - the slower you squeeze, the better results you will get. Let the juicer determine the juicing rate and adjust the feed rate to it.

5. Bananas, kiwi and other fruits of similar consistency (soft, mealy) are better to homogenize (horizontal juice squeezers have this function), because you can't squeeze clear juice out of them.

6. Dry pulp, which is "waste" after squeezing juice, can be used, for example, as an ingredient in soups or to make carrot dough.

7. It is better to cut the raw material finer - you get better juicing results and it is easier to throw smaller pieces into the juicer.

8. The squeezer squeezes more juice from the so-called greens (leaf vegetables and herbs) if you soak the greens in water the night before squeezing.

9. If you are squeezing soft raw material, which tends to clog the squeezer, it is good to throw in a few pieces of harder raw material for clearing (or alternately throwing in).

10. During homogenization and grinding - (these functions have Sana EUJ-707 and Omega 8006/8004 juicers) for better results, pass the raw material through the juicer twice.

11. After each use of the juicer, wash its working parts in warm water with a mild detergent. This will avoid brown deposits on the parts and clogging the screen.

Tips for juicer users

1. Once a month, immerse the juicer sieve for 5-10 minutes in wine vinegar to get rid of the resulting precipitate.

2. The slower you squeeze the raw material, the more juice you will get (this also applies to juicers with a large batch opening).

3. To make it easier to clean the juicer later, line up the inside of its pulp container with a disposable plastic bag.

4. Wash the juicer right after you finish juicing - the dried pulp is more difficult to remove.

5. Drink juice immediately after squeezing - the nutrients it contains oxidize quickly and die.

6. The juicer may vibrate if it has not been properly assembled or if the sieve is not in the right position.

7. When assembling the juicer, make sure the sieve is in the right place.
