Helpful Tips
Noise and Vibration
Sometimes when you juice you'll hear a bit more noise than the normal whisper
quiet juicing you've come to expect from your Power Juicer. This noise may also
be accompanied by a little extra vibrating. This is alright; it is just the juicer
processing the food. Be patient and let the Power Juicer work.
The Benefits of Juicing
We are not suggesting you replace the regular daily consumption of fruits and
vegetables with juicing... they should be done in conjunction. Consuming whole
fruits and vegetables daily helps you get the much needed fiber they have to offer.
Juicing is just a quicker way to get many of the health benefits you need from
fresh food, including antioxidants and nutrients that help your body stay healthy.
It just eliminates the digestion process for quicker absorption.
Get the Most From Your Power Juicer
Some varieties of produce are more difficult to juice than others. The chart on
pages 15-16 will help take the guess work out of juicing. The amount of juice
you produce, depends on which fruits and vegetables you select. That's because
some fruits and vegetables have much more/less juice than others. Produce such
as oranges, apples, melons, and cucumbers tend to yield more juice and should be
mixed with others that don't.
General Guidelines for Juicing
Due to personal preferences and nutritional opinions, it is difficult to determine
an individuals' eating habits. Therefore, we recommend juicing produce the way
you would normally consume it with the exception of cooking. Before juicing
any produce, it is important to wash it thoroughly to remove all contaminants
including soil and pesticides.
Skins, Stems and Seeds
Skins Juicing with the skins on is a personal preference with most produce.
Stems The only stems that are beneficial to process are grape stems. All others
should be removed as they have nothing to offer.
Seeds Removing seeds is discretionary due to certain health risks associated with
certain produce.
