TIPS ON JUICING cont'd

GETTING THE RIGHT BLEND

It is not difficult 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, color,
texture and ingredient preferences are a
personal thing. Just think of some of your
favorite flavors and foods. Would they work
well together or would they clash? Some
strong flavors could over power the more
subtle flavors of others. It is however, a good
rule of thumb to combine starchy, pulpy
ingredients with those high in moisture.
Experiment! Any fruit or vegetable that
you enjoy can go into your next drink. You
may choose to use one fruit to give a
predominant flavor and accent it with a hint
of another flavor. The choices are limited
only by your imagination.

USING THE PULP

The remaining pulp left after juicing fruit
or vegetables is mostly fiber and cellulose
which, like the juice, contains vital nutrients
necessary for the daily diet and can be
used in many ways. However, like the juice,
pulp should be used that day to avoid loss
of vitamins.
There are a number of recipes contained
in this book for the use of pulp (refer to
pages 32 to 35). Apart from these, some of
the other uses of pulp are to bulk out
rissoles, thicken casseroles or soups or in
the case of fruit, simply placed in a bowl
topped with meringue and baked for a simple
dessert.
Quite apart from the consumption use,
pulp is great used in the garden for compost.
