The Right Technique; Getting The Right Blend; Using The Pulp - Breville Antony Worrall Thompson JE15 User Manual

the right 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.

getting the right blend

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 flavours and foods—would
they work well together or would they clash? Some strong flavours could overpower more
subtle flavours. 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 fibre 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.
There are a number of recipes contained in this booklet for the use of pulp. 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.
